I don't think he's being hostile.  He's being cut and dry-- and this is the
best way to be when you're running a business and people are suspect about
price points.  Honestly, we're lucky that Peter is choosing to have an open
discussion about his price points.  He doesn't have to explain himself at
all.  If you don't find it to be a good deal, um, don't buy :-)

I'm not sure why you're so hostile to user feedback ("please by all means
purchase the 
other unit", Adam Henry). I'm just trying to point out that $175 for just a
frame is is 
significantly more expensive in most typical customer scenarios. It's not an
attack on you 
or your company. 

If you could find a way to bring the price down closer to the $65 dotCom
frame, you'd 
probably have a hit. How come Roger can make it for less than half your
price?
