In case that's not sarcasm, I'm in the lumber business. Lumber prices have collapsed in the last six months with massive losses and curtailments throughout the industry. I assure you there is no less greed today than there was a year ago when the market was at the top -- and no more greed then than now. We always at all times charge precisely as much as the market will bear. We do that by always selling to the highest bidder, and I have no idea how else we'd do it.
