After reading this, I feel bad for Stacy, at first yes it did seem to me that she was pushing us away.......... but after this I understand how she'd do that, intentionally or not, My upmost apology, Stacy, Elijah _________________ pretend this is the best signature ever |

If a building company wanted my dad to import a thousand cheap doors for them from china, then we wouldn't expect them to give us a present as well. Just my 2 denarii. _________________ TROLLING ALL OVER THE WEB! |

At the end of the day you raise a good point, but it's the first rule in Business to keep your customers happy, ergo, they get a return in terms of customer satisfaction and increased consumer utility and brand loyalty. It's quite funny actually, when it comes down to it, everyone fulfills their role in the economic system pretty well, everyone becomes numbers on which to plot an AD - AS curve. For example, rise prices and the mindless horde will turn away, lower prices and the mindless horde will buy. Economics is far from a 'dismal science', its easily predictable because people themselves are so utterly and easily predictable in their economic habits. Sorry for going off on a tangent. _________________ TROLLING ALL OVER THE WEB! |

Sorry for going off on a tangent. um..., Eisley's business is music. They write songs, record them, play them (very well) and that is what Eisley does. However...It is not Sherri, Weston, Stacy, Chauntelle and Garron's "business" to be nice people. They are nice people because they were raised well, and generally care about the people they encounter. It has nothing to do with any economic scheme. I know some members of Eisley like to read, but I doubt they've been brushing up on their business skills (nor do they need to). I could be wrong... Stacy's post was...honest, and that's exactly what she said she wanted to be. And she is, and it's a beautiful thing. |

Price and demand is true when all other factors stay equal. There are more factors than just price for many things consumers buy. |

Lol, fine, non price competition as well, including advertising, it just bolsters my point. Referring to points like lack of supply from one point in the development process, then that is pretty irrelevant these days anyway. _________________ TROLLING ALL OVER THE WEB! |

Denise Levertov In Mind There's in my mind a woman of innocence, unadorned but fair-featured and smelling of apples or grass. She wears a utopian smock or shift, her hair is light brown and smooth, and she is kind and very clean without ostentation – but she has no imagination And there's a turbulent moon-ridden girl or old woman, or both, dressed in opals and rags, feathers and torn taffeta, who knows strange songs but she is not kind. For Stacy _________________ Wavering between the profit and the loss In this brief transit where the dreams cross The dreamcrossed twilight between birth and dying (Bless me father) though I do not wish to wish these things From the wide window towards the granite shore The white sails still fly seaward, seaward flying Unbroken wings |

I'm saying the cost of fame and genius is often the blanket of false congeniality that must of us wear.
