I like the idea of DWP. I hope it takes. One of the heavy criticisms I'm trying to respond to is: "If prices are going up so drastically, why don't other prices go down as drastically?"
If z is mean, y is the decrease, and x is the increase, z=y+x? e.g. consider only m4, scout, awp, m249 If m4 and scout increase by a total of 3000, shouldn't the awp and m249 decrease by a total of 3000? Maybe, maybe not. Inflation's a bitch ;) On 11/7/06, Whisper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
