. And yet you feel
you need to judge me

I did NOT judge you. I said ____I____ could not imagine doing that.

I know of a lot of folks who could (both imagine AND do it).

I don't judge them, either.

But I wasn't 'judging' about con-rods. If they're that cheap, they're
"cheap". It's not a matter of what you can or can't afford. That's a
statement about the quality of the unit.

I've often been in situations where I couldn't afford the 'best'. But I
recognized the stuff I could afford as being whatever quality it was.

I never got mad at someone else who did, too.
