I'm not being clear, sorry.  I can _read_ what you
write, I just can't _respond_ to it, because as soon
as I hit "reply", I get the truncation message.  I'm
trying to figure it out...maybe I'll switch list-mail
to my MIT account?  That's a thought...

Sure, but what I mean is, WalMart is so well managed,
while I'm all in favor of the general discounting, it
doesn't seem to be enough to keep them competitive. 
WalMart beats everyone else by _a lot_.

Yeah, and, I mean, isn't that great?  Shouldn't we all
be in favor of that?  That's more money in our pockets
(yours and mine) and less in the hands of the
storeowners and, eventually, their stockholders.

Hehe.  I expressed a desire (to my _Mom_) to at least
once in my life be described as an "evil genius" a
couple of weeks ago.
