- Your argument is difficult to follow. Are you saying Steiner's real

- And if I catch him at it, it's doubtful we'll do business. Earlier
- in my career I had several years of successful high-tech sales and
- know from first hand experience that good business is built on trust,
- not hype and exaggeration. Are you saying that Mr. Steiner's reported talk
- of taking some credit for a few billion here and a few billion there was
- just puff to get a few bucks coming in to keep the office coffee fund
- in good shape and that AIPAC is really impotent? I hope you rethink
- some of your attitudes towards business ethics.
