In reading the reactions as well as the the letter, it occurs to me that I am betraying too much of my frustration at having this conversation repeatedly.
I think that a better choice of words would soften the whole rant component of it while maintaining bluntness.
In rereading it, I think that bluntness needs to stay, though perhaps in a more polished way.
Additionally, I think I should add some more specific and constructive price advice.
Fair enough.
I thank the peanut gallery for the opinions. expressed.
