Exactly. Their return policy is the only reason I buy things at REI. It's part of their value proposition. When their CEO stops talking about how "people can try out a new sport with gear from REI and if they don't like the sport return the gear" (paraphrase), then I'll start thinking it's evil.

Very, very selectively.

I saw you've sold the Fairweather mobile! http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/search/LOTDETAIL.ASP?sid=&intObjectID=4554134 "1982 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SPUR FOUR DOOR SALOON - Rainbow livery with tan leather interior"

It's weird there's been no mention of it on any of the UK climbing boards.

Why don't you say you work for REI Baltoro?

Was that some insult? I've never owned a tv.

I know what you were looking for: Well I just 5 starred it just to spite you, and not because I care about the thread. We know what you were looking for K,

That's bullshit Baltoro. That's exactly what the policy is for, according to the REI CEO

Properly picked, one it's products would be perfect placed on some particular supervisors desk.

PP needs this

apples & oranges. Those "rich" are almost exclusively from rich nations. Travel to the 3rd/developing world and see how many people of any class take part in high risk physical activities (excluding life!). The answer is close to zero. To extend, participating in high risk activities is a byproduct of societal wealth, not personal wealth. Remember it was the British of the 1850's, when they were the wealthiest in the world, who were the first major mountaineering nation.

Forgive my fat fingers Fairweather

Because Israel had launched a surprise attack in the 7 Day war 6 years earlier that they wished to reclaim. Israel is quite large compared with Vatican City, San Marino, Monaco, Lichtenstein or Andorra. I love the historical myopia of Middle East arguments.

Comeon Archenemy,

Ahh PP, and the relevancy of a per mile calculation is...? If Italians lived in Ohio, Wisconsin or North Dakota they wouldn't have many accidents!

Dads not around. Can't be his fault.

I'm learning to speak W.

by that war I meant Afghanistan. Focus, Fairweather, focus.

Funny, I don't think that war was meant to solve our problems.

Nice trip

Ahh... Afghanistan. I remember when the media cared about that country. Elections delayed twice. Continuing strife. Blossoming drug production. Terrorists still on the loose. Ahh, the sweet smell of success!

Or focus their rage?
