John,

I often wonder why people continue to use Pioneer if they're so bad.  Some
people always need something to cry about.  As you know I also use Prestige
in place of the colors I don't like from Pioneer.  Which also come in 100
count bags.  Coincidence, I think not.  Do you think Pioneer has someone
that checks to make sure they put the right amount of bad balloons in each
bag?  I guess T. has some pull because I average less then one bad balloon
per bag. I also have almost no breakage due to balloon quality.  I have more
to say but have to run and check for bad balloons and make up excuses for
breaking the balloons I'm twisting.
