I think you're committing a fallacy there. X is Y does not imply Not X is Not Y So a burrito wrap is a good item for the price does not mean a tool roll is NOT a good item for the price. It doesn't have to be a ripoff just b/c it costs more - that only works when you are only judging value by a single characteristic. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
