I suggest that an appropriate thread topic for discussion of the difference between ARFs and build-it-yourself Kits would be "ARF / KIT Difference Discussion".
EDIT.............
Good idea. No need to sound combative when we don't mean to be.
So be it.
We will interpret the subject, "ARFs versus kits" as "ARF/ KIT Difference Discussion".
Now, let's discuss that.
BTW, I removed all the offtopic stuff that wasn't about the differences between ARFs and kits......
