        Considering these one-by-one - Kevin, 2014-01-31, 07:38
        
        Good analysis - CK08, 2014-01-31, 08:01
        
        These cost estimates can be estimated - Mike (bart), 2014-01-31, 07:57

        First, I think you've reversed the burden on this question. - Kevin, 2014-01-31, 07:52

        Very well put. - Kevin, 2014-01-31, 06:35
        
        I can see both sides of the argument. - Grantland, 2014-01-31, 02:10
