Very gracious response.  Beetle means well.  I have a wanna be elmer that lives by me that says if you don't build it you ain't a real ham.  Of course he is retired and has all day to build stuff.  Me?  I don't always have the time to get on the radio let alone build stuff all the time.  I did build a multiband ladder line fed doublet that works great so I know the satisfaction of rolling your own.  But in our busy lives sometimes it is just more practical and expedient to point, click, pull out the credit card, and there it is at the front door in a box.  Yeah buddy.
