[nfb-talk] Cash

[David Andrews]

It is as I said in another message.  You don't understand our logic, 
so just call it non logic.  You are so sure you are right that you 
can't "think out of the box enough" to see that their might be 
another way to look at things.


And ... the notion that we are doing this to sell stuff is mud 
slinging only.  We have generally lost money on our aids and 
appliances business, started it to bring about some competition years ago.

You said it, you really can't discuss this rationally, because you 
"know you are right."  Some of us have different views from yours and 
no one is right or wrong, we just hold different views.
