ok. This can be said in one sentence. Normally no replacement parts

They're cheap. They will do the job. If they blow up before their

they may well be OK for a long while. **** This is uk.d-i-y, not

No. Once again you are making the assumption that DIY is limited and
cheap.

It may be from your perspective. It is not from that of others who
may have a broader view of what it includes....

His point is that your view is the only given prominence. There was a
whole
thread about your views, attitude and your hyenas.


I think you'll find that overall this provides a balanced view to the
notion that DIY is a thing of limited scale to be done on the cheap.

I am sure that some people do see it that way, and I have no issue
with that notion.

I do have an issue with the assumption that everybody should have a
limited view.

The word "prominence". Look it up.
