no to be fair mick you did not start this thread/post whatever it is called
the person that started it just has a different perspective to me, that is fair enough
I sometimes like to defend the ones starting from the bottom so see things differently to you, as I can see where they are coming from and the background
I also hit my head off walls on pricing questions for the same reasons as you, but I just keep out of it mostly as it is up to them to find their way, but you don't seem to get regional differences very well or appreciate others may not need or want as much as you do regional aside
but forums, email and text are really bad for trying to say what you mean without upsetting someone, what could be said over a pint or coffee is far easier than trying to put it in writing
