[blindlaw] Pimp My Cane

[E.J. Zufelt]

Dear RJ, who I have never met;

I write in hopes that your post was incredibly dry sarcasm, however, if it was not.


1. If you have read this entire thread you will notice that issues related to law / regulation have been discussed.

2. Thank you for the logical fallacy of appealing to authority.

3. Thank you for supporting your argument with nothing other than a personally biased perspective.

Thanks,
Everett Zufelt
