   Absolutely.
   That's just nuts.  The machine that makes the products was PURCHASED by
   management, the raw materials were PURCHASED by management, the
   electricity which runs the machine was PURCHASED by management, all
   using money that was INVESTED by sources of capital.  The buyer of the
   machine, the management, paid the seller of the machine, the whole and
   complete amount that the seller of that machine ever expected to get
   for it.   The transaction was completed then and there.  The buyer of
   the machine does not owe the seller anything, on a continuing basis.
