I know you have cooled off since this statement but I got Ferd's back on this one.

Money does not mean the world to me. I am at the bottom of the list and already make more than I spend. It's all about the base and QOL. I don't think its fair to burn a guy for that. He is happy.

I for one plan on moving to the base and equipment that makes me happy and move left only if/when, it suits my QOL. Moving left may never work out for me but I've got no ego to bruise and pleanty of cash as it is.

Bid what you want, want what you bid.

Buy what you can afford and live like a king.
