inconsistency. In the first case, when the currency movement
benefitted LV, no change could be made, due to currency commitments,
and catalog printings. In the latter case, when the currency movement
harms Lee Valley, then they abandon recently-distributed catalog
pricing and push it up. All I am saying, Einstein, is that this is
inconsistent.

No, it's business. Robin's first duty to his company is to see that it
doesn't lose money. When the Canadian dollar was worth more than the US
buck, it was only that way for a relatively short period. Nobody is
immediately going to change prices under those conditions until they're
fairly sure those rates are going to stay fairly consistent. They didn't
stay that way for long so no prices were changed.

However when the dollar went way down again, immediately LV would be losing
money, so he has to address that condition immediately. That's his duty and
it is what he did. There's no greed or inconsistency there, just ordinary
business.
