No, Pick-el.

If you had a point, it'd be that the person can provide more personal
service.

As far as a dealer goes, we don't need personal service, we need fair and
impartial (and fast and efficient and cheap) service.

Would be nice to meet you too.
 I'd like to do barge just to meet the people. I've met some barge'rs at fargo.
 But I've been to Vegas and really don't see myself returning anytime soon.
 If you've never done fargo its a great event.
I keep trying but missing atlarge. Maybe we could both make that one in the
future.
