     @robmyers that's why I call the iPay the iPay. Its for consumers, not for us prosumers.

     @eximious if he was going to risk offending his readers, he should have made it funnier- the implementation didn't help the idea at all

     @eximious Sure, but I have to take responsibility for what I direct attention to...
