Again you speak for the vendors all the while claiming not to. You have no idea of how each vendor justifies the time and product they offer. What you say *could* be true, you are just guessing. Every business operates differently, some are in this for the love of Deloreans. While they do have to create a profit to be financially healthy, not every action is motivated by profit by every vendor (I am not speaking for any particular vendor). I have to take offense that YOU need to instruct us on how businesses operate. I am not given access to the financial records of any of the vendors, are you?
