From a shop's perspective I can understand why they charged this much, at least they need to do that to keep the business going.

This is BF at its best. From one topic, you will get a few other random argument surface and the thread ends up going every which way. Kinda reminds me of those news clips of Asian government meetings that have everyone talking over each other and small scuffles randomly breaking out in the building.

I knew that - I was deliberately all earnest and sincere for a kind of inverse snark, to make it feel like kicking puppies. Worked pretty well didn't it?

Are you still going on about that? Seriously, if you think I am bothered in any way, shape or form for actually knowing something about a subject, you are quite mistaken.
If the post was too complicated for you, take the stairs
10 pages yet? No? Snap. Keep at it, people. Your turn, Ant.

Yup, Taiwan was the first thing that came to mind with that comment. Not at all racist and totally factual. Nothing says good politics like bringing a baseball bat into the legislature to "hit home" your point...

Happy to oblige.
Well, I can claim to be a veritable authority in my particular choice of vocation as well, but that doesn't mean I feel compelled to upchuck at length about it all over the thread.
How long did it take you to compose that little opus, btw? I wish I had that much time to kill during a workday.

Sorry, given that the post was not directed at people with the attention span of a peanut, am I supposed to give a crap?
Here's something for you guys to read:

That was worth a quote. It's one of things I get a hankering to tell people, but don't as I'm in sales.

Ooh, can I play? I know I don't have 1,000 posts, but I do ride a CAAD9, so that must be worth something.
