- I'm the one who originally put the post about the TLM CAV LD. I'm damned
- sure that the price of the disk was NOT $70.00 when I saw it there almost a
- month ago.
- I find that behavior disgusting, but understandable. Everyone is
- huckstering for a buck, and I guess Tommy K's is no exception.
- For anyone who remembers the original post, I took a very cold attitude,
- offering very little personal help, partly because I was busy, but also because
- I thought there may be floods of requests. Appearently, if there were enough
- requests so that Tommy K's gouged the prices, then I was right.
- I hate being so cynical, but most of the time, sadly enough, it is the only
- way to deal with the world.
