If you'll give me a minute here, I'll crawl up on top of this box....There, I'm ready!
Your point is well articulated/taken. I did not take it personally. I do NOT mean to come across as arrogant or selfish, but anyone can dog my steps all day and they will detect very little waste. While I wouldn't have to, in many ways I live like a pauper. When something actually ends up out by the road at my house, I am confident it would be of NO value to anyone.

Well, the truth is, they couldn't afford them either, and guess who ends up paying the bill? I suppose I kind of strayed from the point, but I sure feel a lot better now.
