Message	Ash has to charge more because he's only playing the middle-man between the manufacturer and the customer. T0m is the manufacturer, so he doesn't have to pay someone else to do the work. Ash has already stated he's unhappy with his supplier, if quality is going to be an issue - that's certainly an indicator. Recursively Yours, Kenny... PETZ Member #5 You guys rock socks.
