Thanks, good to know. And I was 18 when I did the sting operations. 
You misread (again).

Expected. Nothing that I wouldn't put past you.

This is a very limited point of view and you are inferring this.

> You cannot use the "if you don't like my driving then stay off the sidewalk" defense

Wow, you're still inferring a whole bunch of things there and even 
saying things I didn't say. You are so taking this all out of context.

Of course your argument is your opinion. One that can be surely backed 
by many stats from many companies making money off that particular 
model. And those stats also show it doesn't work consistently. Why not 
try something different? I am presenting a different model is all. 
Sorry you don't like it. It works for others that have tried.

done. Good luck with that.
