I suppose I should have asked my question in the "club house" or one of the forums that is less technical, less pure and more subjective.

But I did expect answers from both sides of the isle. I don't find any fault with someone for having passion about modeling. I think the underlying truth , the real answer, and the real question, are all related to passion for the hobby. If the passion is about flying, "the question" doesn't offend. If the passion is about the building and the flying, then the "question" can offend. The important thing is that we do share a passion for model airplanes. We are all very fortunate to have this hobby. It seems rather unique in this regard. And often, those most passionate about the hobby are the ones most likely to disagree.
