1. It wasn't a "flame" in the classic sense of the word,
2. The point could have been made adequately without resorting to
rudeness.
As for your assertion that I missed the point of Kevin's post, I would like
to correct you on that. Far from missing the point, I agree wholeheartedly
when he says that ten quid isn't a whole lot of money to pay to make a
difference, however I still believe that it will put some people off.
