...I believe it was you who, earlier, said that if production

No, it was I, but you took what I said and conveniently snipped the part
which included either control cost or raise price which I also
pointed out in response to your comment there...

I probably snipped because I wanted to focus on fuel.

Changing the subject again...

No. We've been talking about costs you cannot control. Fuel/transportation
is one such cost.

Actually, we were talking about disguising price increases by shrinking the
packages. *Do* try to pay attention a bit more closely.

"things one doesn't want to do" Let's look at the answer our other
contestants chose. Mr. Miller says "evil and deception". Sorry...

Liar. I never said it was "evil". And I explicitly said it is *not*
deceptive.
*YOU* said it was deceptive.

OK. Perhaps you're right.

Is that as close as you can come to an apology for distorting my words into
the _exact_opposite_ of what I actually wrote?

But, you definitely HAVE been pointing to
increased profits as something you view as a negative reason for decreasing
package size.

I don't view "increased profits" as negative; rather, I take a negative view
of the greed that drives a company to increase its profits by providing its
customers with less value.
