That was just a long winded way - s very long winded way - of demonstrating my point. Don't get me wrong, weve followed a similar path and probably a major reason why we both say "fuck these assholes" and don't feel bad about it.

But at the end of the day you said nothing to change the point that this is a luxury good you want, but don't want to pay the price, so you take it.
