I am sure no one really cares, but you started it, Ron.  You were rude in
implying I had "no factual basis" for my figures, which is not true.  I do.  Are
you a betting man?  If I can get KYB's for the price I quoted, will you give me
a pair of Bilstiens?    Finally, as a vendor who makes money off of the list,
your views are subject to a higher degree of scrutiny, as they should be.  If
you and I said the same thing, then what was the purpose of your post other than
to preserve your market?  And what's so horrible about that?  You are in
business to make money, right?  I'm just here to learn something and to have
some fun.
