It didn't "stick in my craw", denzio....

I have a MEMORY. It got jogged. It doesn't have anything to do with bicycle parts per se. As I said, no one is denying that he has enough money to buy a "fine thing" that he feels is worth the expense. It's why he felt it was worth more that some would question.

I think that post of Victor's just illustrates a certain attitude toward "fine things" (be they watches or bicycle handlebars or films). It's not enough that he appreciates them. What seems to tickle him more is when he appreciates something so much more than someone of less refined taste (i.e. someone who supposedly can't appreciate the difference between a $15,000 watch and a $19.95 Timex) and can flaunt his superiority. Call it snobbery, if you will.

Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe he's just coming off this way in print. But I'm not the only one who sees it this way. I understand that Victor is a major contributor to the Asylum and a well-respected designer of esoteric audio equipment. The only way I could afford one of his amps would be to skip about six months of mortgage payments. There's no way there's going to be a separate film forum at the begging of lesser or (in my case) non-contributors. That's fine, but that shouldn't give Victor and his friends the right to behave like arrogant jackasses here. That's what "Outside" is for.
