Uh, yeah, I'd say you struck a nerve. Most of us here ARE struggling with
increased fuel costs, and not just the gas we put in our tanks. You see, we
actually have to make a living in this business. If you don't get that, then
perhaps YOU are the one who is not in tune with what the true costs of
running a business are. And, OBTW, we have, so far, rejected your socialist
bent and the taxes that support it. So track that, Bob.
