While I don't always agree with Zone (remember, this is slime mold
talking), I think it's damn shameful and immature to DEMAND that he PRE-
ANNOUNCE prices. When he dispenses advance information, he does so at
considerable risk. The beast is not on the market yet, and a statement
of price might well be construed as commitment. What if the prices have
to change? I wouldn't want that noose hanging about me, and I think
it's very unfair to ask Livingston to wear it. They HAVE got it together.
