BL> Hello Isla. My only question is why you didn't strangle Paul
 BL> when you had the chance?

 BV> Hi Bob,

 BV> I think she tried but it obviously didn't work. How else could
 BV> you explain a mind that abhors tariffs of any sort, a -10%
 BV> tariff paid to a slope in a foreign country is even worse.
 BV> Unless it turns out to be only -5%. Then its okay !

  ROFL! I love it! Negotiable reality.

  He and his familiar as much as called me a liar, both about the PRC
having Most Favoured Nation Third-world status, and the -10% tariff.
So he confirms it... and he expects *ME* to apologise. He's wrong
about the -5% anyway; it's -10% unless Behari is lying to me, and I'd
rather trust him than a nameless bureaucrat.

 BV> Oh...provided he thinks he gets a cheap color TV in the deal.

  Ahh... the ideals of youth. You're idealistic as long as it doesn't
cost you anything. Self-interest always wins over ideals.

Regards,
Bob
