Subject: Re: gear for sale
I think you have misunderstood the nature of being a stroke. As I understand
it<
and someone please correct me if im wrong>, being a stroke means that you know
of the better way, and ACTIVELY refuse it.

I think i have made it clear what i really think of this stuff, and if someone
were to ask why I was selling i would pull no punches.

But after all that, if someone wants to buy it, why shouldnt i make the sale?
especially when it means I will be able to do it better??

regards,
