I simply disagree with the above posting. There was nothing to read
between - I like Mr. Pyne's mouthpieces, and I have paid $170 for each of
them. That wasn't the point I was making, nor is it the point I continue
to make - but the person in the above posting has an axe to grind and will
do it whenever he can. He has a reputation for attacking me
whenever he feels safe doing so - so I interpret his post as one that does
that - I don't take it seriously, and I view it as a gross
mispreresentation of what I and Mr. Pyne have posted.
