...ummm, damn! I really don't want to get in the position of defending John
Schaffer, because we disagree more often than we agree, but here goes.

  Yes, the profit is good, but we've got enough folks on the waiting list already
(at $299 ea.) to sell the whole lot two or three times over, even after we limit
the number any one person can buy. And we're all in business to (occasionally)
make a profit aren't we?  If they're selling this easily we should lower the
price?  Would you?  Every module is getting inspected by Siemens. Any modules
with j-box corrosion are being put aside, and we're being clear that these are
used, they're from Belize, and they don't qualify for CED rebates. I think we're
being absolutely honest, and we aren't accepting any money or deposits until
we've got the modules in the warehouse to deliver.

I rest my defense, let's talk about something else.
