    Is there a logic involved here or is it simply the ramblings of expensive fantacy?

    No point at all. He be banned. Seems today is the day for a few spammers making meaningless posts and then linking to a POS bracelet on ETSY. Left this up for amusement, but deleted the spam posts.

    I know! Usually the mods give us at least one jab each before the ban.

    If he and the others weren't spamming they would have had the opportunity to interact with others. Things being what they are....they're brilliant posts will have to stand on their own merit.

    Sadly, there was no time to even get my claws out, let alone pounce. It happened in mid yawn, and bam, he was gone.

    It would be a pointless thread for me anyway!

    I can't afford the "best" of much at all. Would not know what the difference between the "best" and what I can afford happens to be.

    Most of the time the only contact with the "best" I get is scoping it out to see if I can get an immitation of the same thing at 1/4 the price.


    Every go through that process?

    I can do without this feature...
    I need that feathre...
    I need it but I ain't paying that for it!...

    I think they refer too it as being POOR...

    Mayhap we can get some milage out of this spam post anyway.

    My favorite fixin's involve slicing it on the wide angle into sandwich sized pieces, applying a slice of pineapple and dusting with the before mentioned brown sugar. Bake for 20 minutes and serve.

    I have eaten some crazy stuff in my short time here on earth. I have enjoyed most of it. Spam ain't one of them.

    Good! That leaves more for me. Spam is snuggled right up there next to bacon as the finest protein ever placed on this planet. Pigs got the 1 and 2 spot all wrapped up.....preferably with bacon.

    The quest for the "Best".....always kinda makes me laugh....Best knife, best pack, best what ever, many people being poor and cheap, the oxymoron of the interweb.

    And the "I got the best for ridiculous money" is mostly BS, not possible to duplicate by the masses..so not relevant to most others, other than saying "good on you, you lucky dog, don't rub it in....LOL"

    I'm thinking that most "what is the best? questions are a way to generate conversation, or in the sake of trolls, an argument.

    I want the least inexpensive product that will do the job at hand...a good engineer will not design the "best" but the product that will do the job under budget.

    My son used his Crysler Cordoba around the farm for a while. He stuck a set of knobby TA radials under it, added helper springs to the rear and fed the stock in airconditioned style.

    Only a redneck kid would do something like that, and be proud of the results. Dog gone thing looked like something an off-road bootlegger would have driven.

    "Best" is a matter of opinion 9 times out of 10 anyway, and is also based on circumstance.

    "Best" at the trap range may not be "best" when things go bump in the night.
