[QUOTE="the rev, post: 272999, member: 2740"] Ok, let me have one more crack :) I live in the ghetto, we are in the process of buying a community home where we can take in those that are homeless, or those that are in need of affordable housing. I weekly go have breakfast in the park with the folks that live there or out of their cars. I live off a portion of my income basically giving the rest away, and my wife doesn't get a paid job so she can volunteer. I am not saying this to get praise, this is just what I believe my calling is. Now say my pipes someday reach the excellency of some of the top end pipe makers, they are in high demand from top dollar collectors, and the money that they bring in allows me to do more in my community. Is this me being greedy? Do I have to price my pipes below what they are worth (worth being dictated by what someone will pay for them), because I do not want to be extortionate? And who is to say I do not give pipes away to my friends? Especially ones with Lemy on their avatar? I understand your point, and it may be true some of the time, maybe even most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time. rev [/QUOTE]
