I more than understand the economics, but I am one of those people who has acquired a black belt in making a Silk Purse from a Sow's Ear. In retrospect there were way...WAY Too Many Times I should have simply bit the bullet and purchased a Quality Component. I have gone to many extremes to cope with a situation instead of simply managing it from the Git Go ! Fortunately lots of folks do the same thing daily...so I can keep my head down and hide in the back row.

Generally when I'm adamant about certain advice it's only because I've thoroughly buggered it up sooooo many times I know "precisely" what NOT To Do !!! For discretionary purposes we will call these EXPERIMENTS and hopefully the wife believes me...
