And that's the thing, it's a have to and not a decision. No ones bashing a have to, we are bashing the ones who had a choice but are tightwads or aren't really serious about it in the first place. I've done plenty of re ring motors, lapper heads... point came when I wanted to learn to do it right, getting better over time and to continue learning. Why only be happy simply because it runs?? Fk that. I want great, not "it runs".
So If you wanna chest beat over essentially the equivalent of cave drawings and stone axes.. then by all means, captain caveman.
