Thinking an opinion is gospel is a problem.

An opinion based upon mis-information or ignorance is a problem.

An opinion expressed with 'attitude' is a possible problem.

One upon hearing another's opinion then getting bent out of shape is a problem.

Not meaning to imply any of this fits anyone on this forum, but tis food for thought!

BTW I agree almost ALL SS stuff is pricey.

IMHO the PP upgrade options are less so!

The new double tilt upgrade price is really exorbitant!

We need to realize that RLF is a small entity that struggles to stay around. Those struggles are compounded by the extent to which they support pre-existing machines. RLF is the fifth(four') corporate entity producing SS stuff and essentially supports all but the 'original' which differed greatly from current genre.

But it is not out of line with the sum of the individual service parts with an allowance for some additional machining.

I liked the 'old' price which was $100 less than the 'current' price.

I think the 'old' price was tolerable.

I almost bought the upgrade but let the date slip by!:(

Now it will be a total DIY project!;) After all I already got one end done!:D

Need a second table though(to reverse the tubes).

Apparently, it is a problem for some people, or else I wouldn't have been so viciously attacked for posting mine. Enough is enough, gentlemen.

Attacked? No I do not think so.

Criticized for word choice etc., probably.

Myself, I love critique as I corrects any mis-conceptions I may have.

Trick is to keep your own emotions out of it and tolerate/understand other's emotions.

I did not say 'agree'.

You just don't know when to quit, do you? In my opinion, I was attacked. You have your opinion and are welcome to it. But I prefer mine. Once again, enough is enough, gentlemen!!

WHO doesn't know when to quit?

I quit when I am finished or successful!

Apparently that little light bulb has yet to shine within!;)

Now Now...Be Nice.

This forum has always prided itself in being open for discussion. Let us try to keep it that way. This does not mean that we cannot disagree nor does it mean we cannot express our own opinions.

But it does mean that we live on a two way street. No One Way Traffic to be allowed.

Well said Dusty, I always feel sorry for those desiring the last word. It can be so short sighted. Jim

Merely 'politely but assertively' trying to point out what seems obvious to us 'old fogeys'!;)

P.S/ last word is irrelevant.

In my 'opinion' I apparently have been unsuccessful in getting that horse to back up and take a drink.

I do not give up easily when I think someone is misguided(sorta like seeing one going the wrong way on a one way street).

Sir, I suggest that you turn your little light bulb on, then, and let it go. Then, since you are going the wrong direction, I suggest also that you turn around.
