[Frank Pittel]

If I were smart I'd stay out of this like my initial instincts tell me
to. I should start by saying that I don't know any of the people
involved including tonym. While I don't think $9 is unreasonble for
shipping something from Canada to the US. I also don't think it's
unreasonable to ask and I think it's unreasonable to "ban" a person
for asking.
