Hubert,
I'll not repeat your excellent post re: subject, except to offer
you a medal with oak leaf clusters for properly defining the very
essence of a free market capitalistic economy. The bottom line, said
by you, is there is no satisfying answer for all. Buy it or don't buy
it as your mind dictates.
A personal note: I was in a line for some crazy reason at the LHSA
conclave in Tucson last October when the mention of M6J was made by
me to the person with whom I was speaking. The chap behind me heard
it and said: "You want to see one"? With that he placed the strap of
one around my neck and I hefted it, stroked it, advanced it, tripped
it, and looked at it inside. NOW, I want one! I love my M6, but this
is a cut above. Right now I can't afford it, what with getting used
to a lesser retirement income, BUT, I'll find a way, eventually!
Is this a great economy or what?
