Re: pay for my roof???......i don't THINK so!!!!!!!!!!

The whole issue is one of full and accurate disclosure. You asked
for an opinion based on the information you disclosed to us. We
offered that opinion (made that decision) based on what you
disclosed. Now, you start disclosing additional information and
accuse us of offering poor opinions (making bad decisions).

I hope your disclosures to your client were more complete,
comprehensive, and cohesive than your disclosures to us.
