I don't think that anyone has EVER made such a claim in this forum. 
That's why I get so exasperated with your statements.  You draw
inferences and conclusions that simply don't exist.  I don't really
enjoy these sorts of debates and it tries the patience of other forum
members.  If you would put a bit more thought and care into what you
say we probably wouldn't have these discussions.

I don't think anyone has ever denied or lied about why they use BO
printing (and how would you know if they did?).  I certainly have made
it abundantly clear in my statements why I use and recommend it (and
it's not because I can't afford something else - another incorrect
assumption).  Again, your comments are inferring nonexistent events. 
Why do you keep doing that?

Clayton
