KElly,
I should have written a more lengthy response, explaining my arguments for
pointing out the irony. While I understand and wholely support the
gentleman's mission to provide accessibility, I was merely propounding upon
the capitalistic conditions that force him to only accept checks as a method
of payment. It was not my intention to blame him for this particular
conditioj. If I gave that impression, I apologize.
