If it helps, I didn't find your post offensive. Sometimes people read things into a post that may not be there or intended.
One thing I would point out (and I've seen it mentioned on TB before): Sometimes it's better and less expensive to pay more to buy what you really want, instead of spending money going through cheaper versions.
Yes. It does help a lot. Thank you! But I still wanted to make sure I corrected myself.
And as to your second point, you are absolutely correct. I've now realized that I should just save the money and stop putzing around. It is more expensive that way. Whoops.
