Wishbone: He isn't talking about "Hello everyone", that was just the opening to his post. He's talking about the thread title, "Making logical sense".
HunchBluntley: Hence my post earlier: it's easily misconstrued.
Also, speaking of redundacy: typing "Hello everyone" at the beginning of an OP in a public forum topic. =P
Randalator: We feel more satisfied buying a pair of $40 dollar jeans if they are discounted from a fictional $60 dollars price tag during a sales period instead of buying the same pair of jeans undiscounted for $40 all year round. Attempting to establish the latter system is killing JCPenney right now.
HunchBluntley: I'm pretty sure Penney's eased off on that, and might have killed that experiment entirely. I don't know if they have as many sales as they did before they enacted that policy, but they do have somewhat regular sale discounts once more.
I apologize for putting a greeting at the start of my posts. I didn't realize it was a nuisance. I'll try not to make that mistake again.
