   this assumes there is something to be shifted.  my approach, as an   
   independent inquirer, is different.  Both parties have the burden of   
   proof.  as for me, i don't have a viewpoint to peddle. i am not a   
   "vendor", but rather a potential "customer".   
      
   when i want to choose between buying a Samsung or an iPhone or other   
   brand (or hell! try to make my own), i want to see which salesman   
   can give me the best deal.  see?

   Just answer the damn question, not the questioner!  Don't   
   presume.  My personal matters/beliefs are none of your   
   business.  I ask, you answer.  If you think I am stupid,   
   you have already proven that you are stupid, not me.  If   
   you don't know the answer, can you please "pass" to other   
   people to answer?  thanks.
