And I still stand by my opinion - if not having $3 one day means you don't eat, you have serious financial issues. Does anybody here disagree?
hat was NOT a hot headed response. This is:
You don't have to tell me I have serious financial issues, I'm well aware of that, and I tried to make it clear I wasn't asking for financial advice, ONLY the practical differences between ultegra, and 105, so I could judge for myself wether it was worth $10. Nobody who reads these boards wants to hear about my family's financial issues or medical issues, and I avoid talking about them, but when someone belittles me for worrying about $10 like :
[QUOTE=$0.00/Gal]I can't believe this thread was made because of $10.
or judging me for my priorities like you did when you said:

I get a bit defensive. You don't know or care about my financial issues, and I didn't ask your opinion about it. I asked for opinions on cranks, not for financial advice. So considering you are so fond of offering advice that is not asked for I will offer you a little advice of my own. Piss of and mind your own business.
