--=====================_14506334==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Well, in a fucked up kind of way, I agree. But wouldn't it be a whole lot more hypocritical to sell a stroke "stroke" gear. Up until a couple weeks ago, I ran a dive shop in Atlanta. I sold tons of bullshit stroke gear to folks. If you got to sell something to somebody to pay the bills it would probably be better to sell them gear oriented toward the DIR philosophy as opposed to some of that shit I sold. My point being, folks have got to sell stuff to pay the bills. You going to make my house payment while I sit on my ass and be a purist? Better to sell DIR stuff to strokes than stroke shit to strokes. Make any sense????? Jim Holcomb At 04:23 AM 11/6/2001 +0000, Gordon Cancio wrote: >I live in the Philippines.
