I just have to ask this... What difference does it make how much one paid for their empeg vs the quality of their posts? I for one am one of the "closeout price guys". That doesn't mean I am less intelligent than any other. It just means that when my number came up for my mark 1 I was simply too poor to buy one at the time. When the proce dropped, you're damn right I snatched one. I understand your logic that since I paid less, it means less, but let me tell you, my empeg dropped 2 feet to the floor the other day, and my heart skipped a beat more than when my g/f thought she was pregnant. I guess the thing that irks me is the somewhat elitist attitude about how much one paid. Makes no sense to me.
