Dave,
What I find perplexing is posting their views in the Kits section in the first place.
Wouldn't most people in the Kit sections be interested in building kits???? I was ignoring it but I had to reply because I think your post is right on the money.
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.
but then I've been guilty of saying the same thing in the ARF section trying to get people to try building kits. What I've learned is that just because I derive so much enjoyment from building others find it a colossal waste of their time or it simply isn't what they enjoy doing.
