Sir Daemon-

Since you had previously described the size of the tents you are selling,
but not the style, I could only guess what they looked like.  Thank you for
answering my question, which was "how is your tent top different?"

I have seen many rectangular "party tents" that lack the gables, dagging,
and other details you describe.  They are essentially big tarps over a metal
frame.  Such tents are very nice, and I wouldn't mind having one myself, but
most of their value is in the frame, not the cloth.  The tops alone might
not be a bargain compared to some of the very large tarps that have recently
come on the market.  So, I asked.  It was, after all, possible that you had
gotten a "good deal" from a Ferengi tent merchant. <g>

Now you have made it clear that your tents are something else entirely.
Well and good.

I included a link to what I was describing for two reasons.  First, because
pictures are always helpful.  And second, because I consider the recent
price drop in such tarps to be good news, especially for those who might be
on a tighter budget.  It was a bit off topic, but not (I hoped) too much of
a stretch.  Perhaps I should have stuck to the point.

As for the rest of your message, I can see why you chose "Carpe Jugularium"
as your motto!

I apologize for any offense, and I forgive you for seeing an enemy where
there was none.

Peace to you and to your house.
