Are you saying that people shouldn't offer well-intentioned suggestions?

I agree with the price increase suggestion. A friend of my late 
father, an eye doctor, once complained to my father that he was busy 
but not really making money. My father told him to raise his rates. 
Dr. Schuler was reluctant, but decided to try it. It worked so well 
that he raised his prices again within the year. Now, nobody likes 
higher prices, and I am absolutely NOT saying that Grant was 
complaining. But, seriously, why should Wiard cost any less than Serge?

Ignore freely. Off-list flames are preferred.

Respectfully submitted,
John
