Here is the actual comment I made:

" I saw a Buffet B-12 selling for $1095 in a local store last year. I
inquired
as to whether that was the list price or an "everyday" price (or thinking to
myself, "is it a joke?"). The salesman said that was his price and he was
selling 'em like hotcakes". Go figure ... "

NOW, is there anything else you would like to tell me I said.

In closing, I would point out that this "thread" was a great example of why
some individuals choose to lurk and NOT participate in discussions.

PS I learned a long time ago not to succumb to that "fault" of
thinking/believing that I was smarter than the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, it would appear that others don't always follow that same
thought pattern.

PPS to Mr. GTG: I kind of like Roger Garrett ! BUT, I sure am glad you
aren't a Doctor.
