[QUOTE="winmag, post: 595285, member: 22166"] Holy cow! You & I are SOOOO 100% opposite its scary. I'm with you on the 2" @ 100 is "good enough" thing, but that's where it stops. Quality has steadily declined. Period. No other way around it. Production costs/shortcuts are the reason. You view it as the way the world works. I say its a vary sad thing to watch it go down the crapper. Ya I'm stuck in the old days. & your right, I don't want to forget. Back then folks were held accountable for what they did, & made. If we could somehow combine modern technology in manufacturing, with the old fashioned care about your product, & customers then we might have something. Compare the materials & precision machines they had... Umm people with hand tools... To modern C-N-C machines etc, & there's no excuse what so ever to have such cheaply made crappers. They should be turning out the best in the world, & would be if they gave a crap about thier product, or customers. But that would cost too much, so... nowadays its cram as many as you can out the door, & down the throats of everyone, cause you can sell 10 cheapo crappers at half the production cost as 3 quality ones for a lot more production cost. I say its a very sad day. In the name of "progress". [/QUOTE]
