What you call whining (an inflammatory trigger word) I call critically
discussing. If there is something that I think needs to be modeled, or
there is something wrong with a model, or I think the price is too damn
high, whatever, I will state it. If you have a problem with that, tough.
I am sick and tired of people, for God knows what reason, rising to the
defense of the model manufacturers when anyone dare questions something
related to them. I appreciate their contribution but let's keep things in
perspective. In reality these guys work for US and therefore wouldn't
exist without US. They make something we want and we pay them for it. We
have every right to praise, criticize, or expect more and better - and they
would be wise to listen. After all, we're footing the bill. It's called
supply and demand and it's how things work in a capitalistic system. Give
me what I want or I take my hard earned dollar elsewhere to someone who
will - Period. Your contribution is appreciated but realize it is, to us,
merely a convenience; Don't let it go to your head. Charge too much and I
do without - I'll get by. If I am unhappy, disappointed, whatever, by what
you are offering, not offering, or the quality of it, I will state that
because THAT'S MY RIGHT as a consumer in this society.
You should have been modeling in the 60's
I was. What the hell does THAT have to do with anything.
Different times, different standards.

Oh, poor Charlie. So this gives him the right to be rude and
inflammatory? I don't think so. If anything, you should be calling for
him to apologize, so should our so called moderator. Quit sucking up.
