I think the product is great. And that is what makes these sales numbers that much harder to explain.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-74758201676522974602009-11-12T14:27:47.292-05:002009-11-12T14:27:47.292-05:00Talos wrote:
