Ooops, dropped a word...
3. I have far less respect FOR YOU than the little you have publicly
stated you have for me, but I don't feel the need to repeatedly lash out
at you in public without any personal provocation. ;-)

Sorry -
B. D.

B.D. Colen lashes out at Leica, again:

B.D., you seem to know so little about business.

Leica has to pay for:

Salaries for thousands of employees
Health care for thousands of employees
Factories to pay for and maintain
R&D to pay for
Advertising/marketing to pay for
Has to produce hundreds (if not thousands) of units of product everyday

Tom Abranshom has to pay for:

1, maybe 2 salaries
Health care for 1, maybe 2
A small rental unit in a industrial park
No R&D to pay for
No advertising/marketing to pay for
Daily out put is maybe 1 unit per day

Is there something I am missing here? Is there something you are missing
here?
