b) They have several direct competitors (see: a), so I can only assume that they command pretty standard margins for the market, so you're probably not in the wrong business.
c) PT never said what you're alluding to.
That's a lot of fail in a small handful of words, Bobby. Are you reverting to the moran that you used to be? You were just starting to grow on me...
I actually wasn't referring to your Merino post, but rather the aubiecat post just above. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have the greatest respect for Merino and have dozens of sweaters out of it. But you know, at $30 for top notch Merino sweaters all season long at Jos. Bank who makes a good profit, the socks could reasonably be cheaper. I also used to ride shorts and jerseys made from it. I sure hope I am not regressing to the old Bobbie.
Oh, and thanks for setting me straight on the Barnum thing. I checked the story out. Neat.
