 Alright ,cool. thank you! 
 one quick question, will the focus fire subs be thee same price as the  regulars  ,115$ a pop or less becoz it is a FF?
 Just curious. thanks.

You know how pricing works.  It's based on generation.  Because of the pandemic, prices have not been raised with the advancements to generation, so a single stage of 5.5G and up will be $114.95 per copy.  Now if you really want me to raise prices, I can.  But I don't think this is the best time to do that. 

LMFAO - this reminds me of when a client of mine asked for a discount and I explained how they were already receiving a discount, and that I thought maybe I should hike the rate I was training them at.  

 Im sorry I ever asked the question,. I asked a sincere genuine question because I TRULY did not know whether this would be  a lesser priced sub,because it is a focus fire and not a regular full on sub; THe response back to me:
I Not only get insulted  for asking now Im being mocked/laugh at,THIS IS BULLSHIT!!  double standard BS, yawl get to say anything you want to me and yawl can say me,  and its all my fault responding/reacting back !! BS> YOU dont get to insult me like this and then put it off on me IML!! NOT LMAO!
you all DONT know me worth AF but love to act like you do! I've never met you, never ever spoken on the phone,never spent anytime together person,ect. this disresectful AF! Yes it is too.

Keith, you seem to think that somehow focusfire subs are inferior to other subs and don't deserve the price.  That is the issue.  The price comes from the difficulty in creating them, and that is not going away just because they're focusfires.  They have the same price because they are the same level of difficulty and the same level of power.  One just has a shorter script.  

Nobody insulted you.  I was jokingly reminding you of how things work.  But you are taking things in an unnecessarily negative way and over-reacting.  This isn't the first time you've done that.  It's gotten you banned before, if you will recall.  It is unproductive for you to get upset like this, especially when nobody was trying to insult you or be nasty to you.  I fully understand that for your personality type, this is sometimes just a thing.  It happens.  But again... nobody was trying to insult you.  That was your interpretation of things, and that is therefore on you.  

If you'd like to see what I mean, let's say I take offense at you saying that focusfore subs aren't as good as regular subs?  That actually could be insulting, if I cared to be upset by your misunderstanding of the matter.  But I choose not to be.  See what I did there?  I didn't assume you were trying to be insulting, when there was a perfectly good explanation otherwise, and I tried to make it a lighthearted joke instead of taking it as an insult.  Maybe you could learn something from that.

Ross was laughing at the joke I made, not you.  That's because unless you're looking for a reason to be upset, the joke (if you notice it) is funny.  Not because somehow we are laughing at, mocking, or insulting you.
