"You're probably correct in your assumption about people not having the ability and maybe even the inclination to build but the time aspect is definitely invalid because if you can find the forty or so hours to try to piece together assemblies that some third world person built, you can definitely find time to build your own kit."
Only for for clairity sake:
I stated my opinion, which was: "A great portion of the folks in R/C now, FEEL they just don't have the time, the ability; or, the inclination to build"!
From your point of view, the point can't be invalid, because we are actually in agreement that people incorrectly think they don't have time. Certainly the reality is that "some" people maybe really don't have the time! Others don't have time because they chose to use their time for other things!
Otherwise, I agree with all you said, John!
I probably shouldn't draw comparisons to religions or unions, but in this post it looks to me like certain people are placing themselves in the position of being judge and jury on how everyone else should spend their valuable time.
If I were of the same ilk, I might say (and you could quote me)
"People think they don't have enough time to learn how to properly use quotes, but they just think so; they're actually too lazy to learn."
However, I don't really care if people don't use quotes properly. I simply have time to waste, writing comparisons.
Best wishes,
