This is exactly why I mentioned making a deposit with the Major if we truly want to buy one of these hats. Then he can actually judge the degree of serious interest. I don't want him to take the plunge and get left holding the bag, but I accept his decision to accept the risk as a businessman. I'm going to bow out of this conversation with this note, I meant no offense to anyone, I was simply stating what I saw as inadvertent comments which were discouraging the good fellows trying so hard to see this project thru.
