BL> It is inconsistent for you to be in favour of the Collins
 BL> program

 PE> Who said I was? Next you'll be saying I'm in favour of the road
 PE> that goes from Perth to Murdoch. 

  You told me that your company is unsubsidised operating in a free
market. Neither of these were true, and by a process of logical
thought starting from your false premise; for you to believe that it
was free then you must therefore think that such a subsidy is
acceptable.

 PE> It would be more helpful if you ASKED me what my opinions were
 PE> instead of TELLING me. In the end, I decided to join them
 PE> rather than fight them (Labor policies). 

  It's not easy to understand what you're saying most of the time.

 PE> The cheapest I could find in the Kmart/Grace-Bros type places.
 PE> I've got my old records to look up. And it was $449. 

  The CHEAPEST 14" TV (no remote) has *never* been $449 since colour
TV was introduced. All you are saying is that you are a lousy
shopper... and to compare KMart with Grace Bros proves it. Grace Bros 
is 25% over KMart on TV.

 PE> I wasn't buying in 1985, I was buying in 1987. In 1987 it cost
 PE> me $449. I can now go to the same shop and buy a 51cm TV with
 PE> RC and teletext for the SAME PRICE IGNORING INFLATION. Poor old
 PE> Bob. Getting smacked with reality like a dead fish. Yeah, any
 PE> time the slopes want to screw me like that, they are more than
 PE> welcome to. 

  I love the way you argue with me in my area of expertise.

Regards,
Bob
