To be quite clear about this, I don't think I have ever suggested Bob
Perry is a curmudgeon (see
http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20001129 for discussion
of the origin of the word) and I certainly would not suggest it now.

He has a "consulting client" fee which is, in my opinion, something of a
filter to keep out "tire kickers" and so on - understandably so, I must
point out. But on occasion it's gotten in the way of what seemed to be
legitimate inquiry. But, hey, it's Bob Perry's office and he can run it
as he sees fit.
