Well Jeff, I see that we just have two conflicting philosophies.

My brain just doesn't compute why somebody would enjoy paying more than they have to. Yours apparently does. Kudos to you. Buy everything Jeff. I really don't care. Maybe ask if you're allowed to pay double. Flash the bling. LOL

Everybody knows that I'm not making this stuff up. My PM box is loaded with comments from people who I barely even know - telling me that I'm 100% dead on. Again - just calling a spade a spade. Unlike a lot of guys on this site - I have no vested interest. The octopus doesn't have its tentacles in my pockets - and I'm not angling for anything - so I'm free to speak openly.

gr8 - this all goes back to the "cheap gear" thread. I swear, there wereguys whowere basically just gloating about how much money they sunk on gear that they probably didn't need in the first place. "I only buy the BEST." LMAO Some guys feel the need to flash their wad, and a lot of this whole phenomenon speaks to that. I'm obviously not programmed that way, so I'll never understand it. People have different ways of stroking their ego, I suppose.
