Harvey,

You said "I've been communicating here with two posters about housing solutions in Haiti.One of them, Tiba, has never looked at my website to see what we're offering.

It would help if he would see what we're talking about before he jumps in with only concerns for what he is talking about."

Well, Mr. Harvey, I took a little offense to that. It sounds like you are really offended to the fact that I commented on your plastic blocks.

You're insinuating as if I shouldn't have jumped to conclusion on your plastic block until I had visited your website to see the blocks first.

Well, I am throwing that same accusation to you too. You shouldn't have presented your block as superior to the Haitian blocks unless you had been to Haiti first and saw the Haitian blocks.

It seems to me what you have to say must be more important than what I have to say, why is that?

You said "It is the size of a standard concrete building block, eight inches wide, eight inches high, and sixteen inches long. The block is made by compressing all (ALL) kinds of plastic trash in a manual press.

The operation of the press requires no electricity, no fuel, no diesel, no gasoline.

It is a total manual operation."

Mr. Harvey I must inform you that this is not a new phenomenal technology to Haitians.

They have been using this type of machine to make block since the beginning of time. Just like your machine, their machine is operated with no electricity, no fuel, no diesel, no gasoline, and it is a total manual operation.

The only difference is they don't use plastic to make their blocks.

Your blocks are not any superior than the Haitian blocks.

However, your blocks can be added to the pile of choices contractors would have when come time to purchase construction materials.

It's always good for business to have competition, choices, and options.

This is something Haiti doesn't have but needs so desperately.

This is why I had suggested that you market your product to The Bill Clinton fundation, UN, and USAID because they are the ones that can buy your product for the so-called "Haitian Reconstruction Initiative."

Harvey, I am a free thinker, and therefore, I don't take anything anyone puts before me laying down just because the person said so.
