If what you say is true, that most prospective customers are more interested in price rather than quality; Then CI should have a couple thousand members, not a couple hundred. Alcor has more members than all the other organizations combined, and has done so without competing unfairly. If Alcor were in a situation where we were making money hand over fist, venture capitalists would be taking a very strong interest in what we do and attempt to capture a share of the market. If you honestly think you can deliver a competitive product at a better price, maybe it is time for you to go out and start your own organization.
