Tom Barry: The witnesses are welcome. I am pleased to say I am a customer. I tend to buy specific items where I find the quality to be excellent. I am not sure if others follow the same pattern. To be frank, abuses do occur in the industry. We would not be discussing the issue with the multiples unless something was wrong.
