    Dear Mike,

    Good.

    Or so I think.

    I liked the first one below from your home site's comment on
    prices, but I was afraid someone would take it the wrong
    way. And I liked the second one, too, but couldn't expect
    people to hook it to the thread title easily.

    "Our expert staff knows what's what, and won't try and bluff
    their way through if they don't. It's easy enough with an
    experienced staff like ours to find an answer to just about
    any question!" --Mike Jacoubowsky

    Like Mark Hickey (how the hell do you work titanium frames
    and chili peppers into a wrong number?), Dianne Hannah (Rolf
    versus ROFL?), and a raft of others, you're too cheerful,
    helpful, and friendly to inspire this kind of warped---

    Er, never mind.

    Cheers,

    Carl Fogel

    How 'bout this: "This may sound self-serving, but as the largest OCLV
    phone dealer in the country, I can tell you that this year's
    XXXX-SpeedLite model addresses the wrong number problem without
    sacrificing dialing speed or light weight." ? :->😉

    I'm sure I'll remember saying that someday, or at least I'll claim
    that I did.

    Have I actually used the phrase "self-serving?" Perhaps I have, maybe it's
    all over the place, but I prefer to use something along the lines of "Please
    keep in mind that my observations and recommendations are to be considered
    100% totally biased, since we're the largest OCLV dealer in the country."
    I'll let others figure out how to modify that into a phone thing if they
    wish...
