I posted my original comment about the price in the group, and got the nasty reply by email. I don't post other people's private emails in public, even if they are nasty; also, it's explicitly not a discussion group, even discussion of pricing is strictly speaking off-topic, and I would get heavily sat on by everybody if I tried to conduct a flamewar on-group.

Besides, why say it on-group when I can bitch on LJ? ;)

(I suspect other regular readers have already developed their own opinions of this guy, to be honest; there've been skirmishes with him before about overpriced stuff and illegally-resold ciggies.)
