Are you saying that the outfit that
Sansui Samurai described as having
gone belly up did the right thing by
buying $5000 worth of Rolls Royce
hand tools rather than the Xcelite
ones which would have cost $600?

Didn't I convey two alternatives there?

That the outfit failed:
A. BECAUSE they buy "only the finest" or
B. DESPITE buying "only the finest"?

It's like option A set you off so much that
you overlooked option B.

Judging from the way you took it very
personally, I'm guessing that you worked
somewhere where you groused about
the **** Xcelite nippers all day long....

How is that different from the MacIntosh
kooks?
