Michael: Thanks for the suggestion of the slogan ... good/dead thread lice.

We at FBNA try very hard to avoid comments or insinuations that any interaction or association with FBNA products and/or people would terminate the existence of the associatee. It tends to scare people.

Rather, we leave the end result up to the interpretation of the reader of the press release or marketing materials. That way, everybody gets what they want.

In your particular instance, it sound like you'd prefer the thread lice to be extinguished. That's fair. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. However, some of the bleeding-heart liberals on these threads would prefer that the thread lice merely be discharged from their threads in a polite manner, tails between their legs. Hopefully never to be heard from again.

You see the difference? I'm sure you do.

Thus, your rather finite description of "dead" thread lice does not fit our Corporate Image.

The initial BTO (Built To Order) post was more precisely worded to carefully avoid the implications of terminal finality. Thus "rid their lives of these pesky pests once and for all" fits nicely, don't you think?

Thank you for your interest in our fine company.

FBNA - where our investors have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Regards,
