And I agree, Have you read the rules or just the basic guideline I posted
while a set of rules was being drafted ?

Read them Kevin, if the price is to high then you can offer the goods
cheaper or point the buyers toward someone that can. people that just slag
off at a  price without offering an alternative is the target of the rule.

Pitty you feel the need to slag off instead of using Netmail as others are 
doing with input on the rules, I did ask for input by netmail, almost
everyone has had no problem with netmailing suggestions, jumping up and
down, stamping your feet won't help your case.

Agreed again, what is uproar about Kevin ?

If you wish some input on the rules all you need to do is netmail me.
