Why post things like that in the first place?

DON'T post as an authority on a subject that you don't know about, outside your personal experience.

Your post was condesending and matter-of-fact like.

I was trying to get people who were checking the board while the convrntion was going on, a neat chip at a good price and you made me feel like I was trying to take advantage of peiple by nickle and diming them, and that really bothered me.

Come to find out that you were just pounding keys irritated me further.

If you don't like a price, shipping or otherwise... Don't buy it, and resist the urge to post your opinion when it is not asked for or needed, because sometimes you don't know as much as you think you do.
