Sir,  I'm pretty sure that I did not "offer" to sell this to ANYONE!!!
I merely offered to provide a price comparison for anyone who was
interested and did not have a contact or easy means to get this
information.  If you have a problem with me offering to provide
information to other people, perhaps you could keep it to yourself. :-)
You are not the only one on the list, and although you seem pretty sure
that you know everything, I'm also pretty sure that you don't.  Maybe
you need to re-read my offer and attempt to interpret it correctly, then
maybe you won't feel as offended as I do when getting such an asinine
response from a fellow list member!
