You'd think I'd have learned something the first time I  
responded....... well, here I go again.......

Paul - I thought so. But gosh, you sure came out swinging! I'm quite  
sure Ed THOUGHT you charged one fee for the common folk and a  
different higher fee for the wealthy. THAT is why he jumped on you a  
little bit - in all honesty, I think just about anyone would IF they  
thought you were actually doing that.

I'll bet this is how some wars have been started. We don't always need  
a Gulf of Tonkin or a USS Maine (the first one) - sometimes just a  
simple misunderstanding.  ;-)
