Yes, Joe - I feared the same: it was not without a good deal of careful forethought and editing that I made that post - and I tried to be as diplomatic as I could muster in the language that I used.
However, having said all that, we all have our own individual budgets that determine how much we can afford to spend on our hobby. Mine is small - not by choice, but by circumstance. If things were otherwise, would I take a different view? Probably not, since one gets set in one's ways as the years go by and in my case, any changes that have arisen have always seemed to be in the wrong direction!
Prudence is an attribute that although hard won is also easily lost.
