Hey guys, a lot more smoking needs to be done here. Why can't we all get A
I am not condoning trying to extract the pi$$ from someone, but then there's also something to be said for etiquette. Everyone appreciates help (I know I certainly do
And you know what, it's not always forthcoming as well, I have asked questions in my journal and had zip back
)But then that's just the way a forum works, timeframes etc, etc. Posting and nailing someone on a lot of points, without showing a great deal of positive vibes is perhaps a red rag to a bull, but that's just my opinion. I try (I really do) to post in a careful way in peeps journals (it's their baby after all.) And I am sure I have seen most of the people in this thread posting good comments in my journal, but sometimes we forget we are stoned (sometimes
) and that like speaking on a telephone, instead of speaking to someone face to face, messages can be misconstrued and taken in the wrong, tone, pitch, etc, which are also extremely difficult elements to bring into writing as well.
Here's another opinion of mine (oh I am full of it today
) I can see the positives of purchasing better rated equipment, even though the cost can be higher in monetary terms. However I have seen this debate on RIU (we don't argue on RIU, we debate
) and I think there are points to be taken into account that are often forgotten. Aside from the Marketing information you have posted (which is all it is - it's not scientific) if you have the knowledge that you are using something that you have saved money off by using old materials, there is a Utility gained from this, knowing you have used something and gained more than the best from it.
The same can be said for building your own equipment out of old parts. People say the time spent could be used on something else (known as Opportunity Cost), however, they forget the Utility gained from doing the building and using old un-used parts that might have just been thrown away. (sorry, meant to say before, that Utility is satisfaction, pleasure, joy, etc - all the good things humans feel in life.)
So I think what I am trying to say, because I am stoned now
. Is that everyone is learning constantly, and everyone is trying help (or should be), we are just sensitive creatures and as such, we need to treat each other in this way (especially in the written world). But again, that's just another opinion of mine.
So here's to getting back to growing and smokin, instead of fussin.
Right, I am out of here, things to do in the real world. Later's, and seriously, mucho
To everyone! DST
Oh, and just a small edit, nice looking girls C5.
