- First of all: I DID NOT WRITE THE ABOVE STATEMENTS!! I did post a
- followup to this fellows questions, but you removed my followup and left
- my name associated with his questions. If you can't get the attribution
- correct, why not just remove it entirely (which is what I usually do, since
- I don't really care who said what)?

- insulated than other popular boots on the market.
