I think you are correct. BUT, my response was NOT a personal vote/reply as I
do NOT care to vote, as I believe it is NOT the correct manner to approach
such an IMPORTANT undertaking.

Rather, for those individual or who were "listening" and might be searching
for alternatives I thought it would be proper to name some of the catalogue
sellers, merely as alternatives to traditional "purchasing". The name of
this game is sharing info, thats all I was trying to do.

Again, my response should NOT have been read as a VOTE; it was NOT.

Seems like the electronic forum lends itself to much miscommunication, eh ?
