I don't Glen, quite the contrary. I've made it clear many times that were I able to pay the high prices, I would. But I can't...so I don't
I only comment on specific posts dealing with prices and the like when snide remarks are made about the low priced items and the implication made to those of us buying those low priced products. That is all. Most moderators can afford the quality items and so it is understandable they let those topics flourish, but I would appreciate if the moderating powers could be used when snide remarks are made about the low priced items a bit more often than is currently done(which is closer to naught).
That is all.
There simply are times when you get what you pay for.
Of course, and there are times when all you can afford is low priced items.
When the fat cow season is upon us again, I will finally buy my expensive Young custom made kilt, some quality hand knitted hose, maybe a freelander sporrano masterpiece, etc.
Until then, SWK heavyweights, second hand hose from Matt, DIY sporrans and Jackets for me. And proudly. I guess I have the same right to enjoy my kilthood in this forum as everyone else without having to feel minimized by snide remarks.
It really amazes me how many people still don't seem to understand that we do want quality...we simply can not afford it.
And it sucks to be 'ridiculed' or lessened by it, of all places, at XMTS, know what I mean?
