I see nowhere in his message where he asked for opinions. He stated his friend had a bike for sale, gave a price and description, and said if anyone was interested that he would put them in contact with the seller.
He did not ask for comments on the price, what we have bought that may or may not be comparable, what our neighbor down the street has for sale thats cheaper, or what were having for dinner. Additionally, he asked that any replies on this subject be sent off list, which, obviously, proved to be a difficult task for you.

All I said is that it "Sounds like a lot" to me. I think I'm allowed to express an opinion when somebody is asking for one. It's ok with me if you don't have the same opinion. I have met Phil and I think he can speak up if he is insulted. It's not even his bike. BTW, I would never insult Phil's car.
