<DIV><BR></DIV>Andreas-It looks like we differ on the definition of "market
price." I say that market price is when I pay the same as everyone
else. That is not to say the market price everyone is paying isn't being
subsidized by another party. Oh well, it is really a minor point to the
overall discussion.<BR><BR>
