OK...you want an explanation?

Here's the deal:

He says: "isn't there a different way to ship those?"

You hear: "Thiose silly little things you're shipping out don't deserve an entire box. "

You're thinking "I'm sending out a little piece of myself here and I don't want it to get hurt on the way to somebody I'm hoping will love it."

He meant to say "I care about your project and I want to be helpful; since I'm the practical one maybe I can help you save money."

But he can't even say that....because he's a guy, and it's against the rules for guys.

This is a subject I know more than a little about. You don't know why yet but hang around here long enough and you'll find out. :-)
