Actually, I have no intent to try to derail your original purpose, and I resent the implication. My basic point was that if we're going to get the numbers together to actually get a group buy off the ground, then we probably need to decide as a group to go after singles or doubles - trying to get both may result in getting volume pricing on neither. Most people seem interested in doubles. I dig MKS straps, but I'm totally open to Toshis as well. All I did was voice one personal preference. You seem to think I'm trying to get some kind of ****ing conspiracy off the ground. I never claimed it was my idea, insisted that we *not* buy single straps as a group, etc. In fact, I don't care if it was you or whoever else that first even mentioned the idea of a group buy on straps - it's beside the point entirely. People seemed interested in a group buy on Toshis and someone mentioned a new thread, so I started this. Accuse me of trying to further some ulterior, personal motive and this thing will lose my support altogether. I have connections enough for my own means, I was only trying to get this thing rolling for the group.
