    "Quite honestly and in many cases, my answer is: YES! A great many wear their wealth on their sleeves...Value? Some folks love to show off, and only the "best" will do..."

    "Actually, they probably "got there" by being cheap, slimey, SOBs.. and why are they thought of as "movers and shakers"? Could outward appearances play any part?"


    I would think as you are not that person you are presuming that the reasons above are fact.

    Sorry, these are not assumptions...

    ...these statements are based on firsthand observation...empirical evidence if you will...

    I had asked earlier if you were that naive...

    Firsthand observation... a major "nay-nay" of the naysayer camp, nay?

    In this case, what device should one use...

    ...other than firsthand observation?

    As we are often told re: cable synergies, science doesn't know eveyrthing...after all, there is, at this time, no test equipment to measure the operating parameters of obnoxious pr!ck$...

    jimHJJ(...although a micrometer or calipers could be used to measure the thinness of skin...)

    There you go again Loser.

    You talk about thin skins but you seem to be the one who makes the combative comments time and time again.

    I ask you who is the obnoxious pr!ck?

    Is ridicule the only tool you have available to you?

    It would seem that I was correct...

    ...subtle sarcasm IS lost on you!

    "...you talk about thin skins but you seem to be the one who makes the combative comments time and time again..."

    That statement actually made sense to you before, during and now after you've posted it? "Combative"? I rarely engage in a battle of wits with the unarmed...

    I ask you who is the obnoxious pr!ck?

    And I ask you, "Are we not men?"...or perhaps "You want flies with that?"...

    Is ridicule the only tool you have available to you?

    No, but it's right there on the top tray of my toolbox and easy to get at and I always use the right tool for the job at hand and...

    jimHJJ(...now lessee, where was your other post what needed some re-toolin'?...)

    You used the term probably. From our past discussions I will assume you are aware of the definition of that word. You are casting a stereotype. You can not make that broad of a comment about a single group.

    Certainly you are not so nieve to believe that all people among a group are the same.

    And once again why do you have to come off like such an @$$.

    Do I have to do sentence diagrams for you?...

    You posted: "...The people who buy that gear are the movers and shakers of society they did not get ther(sic) by kidding themselves..."

    And I responded: " Actually they probably "got there" by being cheap, slimy SOBs..."

    "...You used the term probably..."

    Yes, I certainly did, as it is well within the realm of reasonable thought that most did not aquire the "M&S" status by being nice guys...just as most politicians get to where they're going with the help of "connected" friends and/or relatives and how some "celebrities" are accorded near "god-like" status for no reason other than the way they look, dress or the cars they drive..."outward appearances" ring a bell?

    "...From our past discussions I will assume you are aware of the definition of that word..."

    Yes I am...that's why I used it...

    "...You are casting a stereotype..."

    And I suppose you are of the opinion that they(stereotypes) have absolutely no basis in fact?

    "...You can not make that broad of a comment about a single group..."

    Yes I can...I just did and will probably do so again...

    "...Certainly you are not so nieve(sic) to believe that all people among a group are the same..."

    That would be unfair...but you have to start somewhere...

    "...And once again why do you have to come off like such an @$$..."

    Probably because of your blinkered viewpoint...

    jimHJJ(...but then again, that's just me...)
