You just demonstrated my point, Joe. Instead of being rational you resorted
to your usual, ad hominem attack to avoid the issue. *Not the most adult of
things to do.


The fact that the topic's such a sore spot with you certainly should clue
you in that there's at least a kernel of truth in what I say. Moreover, no
matter what careless, self-serving assumptions you care to make about me,
they have little bearing on the fact that you really DO need to re-evaluate
yourself and your choices honestly if you wish to increase your chances of
success next time around.

I remember during the planning of his business, posters asked him if
he had taken care of certain things they thought would be easy to
overlook. Joe smugly replied each time that he had crossed all the T's
and dotted all the i's. *He clearly hadn't. *Imagine his surprise when
he got to his destination and found out that he would not be allowed
to load the 10,000 pounds he had counted on transporting. There was a
4,000 pound limit, which even if he had made it back in one piece,
would have severely impacted the whole venture.- Hide quoted text -

Where did you garnish this "4000 lb limit" information Mike?
No such restriction that I know of, can you please point to where you
heard this?
It would not suprise me that you heard it, because Ive read a dozen
versions of what really happened too.

It was widely reported. Can you point to anything to verify that you
had 10,000 pounds of coffee aboard Red Cloud? ALL accounts that
mention the amount of coffee aboard say you had 4.000 pounds of
coffee, and that you didn't know you could only take 4,000 pounds
until your arrival down there.- Hide quoted text -

Don't believe everything you read in the press Mike. Like you, the
press was not privy to the facts.
There is no such limit as to the amount you can export, thats just
plain silly.

You can export any amount as long as the tariffs and taxes are paid.
