bravo.

I tell people all the time, I don't want cheap, I want quality.

I regularly spend too much of my income on quality as opposed to cheap crap.

Just imagine what the segment of our population with enuf $ to buy a $40K
motorcycle could do if they insisted on better consumer products...

Damn right. If people didn't buy crap, the market wouldn't be flooded
with it. It annoys me intensely!
