Well, yes, but I think some people go out of their way, even if they're
paying full retail, to buy stuff with a known pedigree from a "known good"
reputable supplier, such as direct from Rohn, as I guess we used to be able
to do but may not be able to do now. Which is why people were troubled when
they bought things direct from Rohn that didn't seem to be up to Rohn's old
standards.
I think that's what Tom was saying.
