: > ... My big question is just why is the stuff so damn expensive????

Check out my response to Mike and Rikki... it's because it comes from Venus, and then it has to be spun by Rumplestiltskin.

: Because we're a rich, foolish nation. And we like the stuff, We can't stay
: away from the stuff, We have to have the stuff!

Definately a recipe for inflation. Could it be that Carbon Fiber is addictive? Perhaps we need to start pre-employment carbon fiber residue testing. "I'm sorry sir, your test results showed high levels of carbon fiber in your urine. You are a risk to our workforce. You will soon be calling in sick to go kayaking and stealing from the petty cash to support your $45 a yard habbit. We recommend the Betty Ford clinic for carbon fiber addicts."

: What else? Hmmmmm..... Oh, yeah! Just like playing saxophone; CHICKS DIG
: IT!!!!

Hey, now you're on to something. Let's build a carbon fiber saxophone and kill two birds with one stone.
