Do you really want me to give you a lecture on the moral evils of greed?
Would it do any good?

Arguably, yes. But what's your point. That two wrongs make a right?

Not really sure what your point is here. First of all, R/Ts go for
considerably less than 30K (unless your talking Canadian in which case I'm
lost in the conversion haze). Are you saying that R/Ts are not worth the
20-25K US that people pay for them? Worth it or not it was still your
choice to buy one. Now you come back and say "Sure, I bought one but it was
overpriced so I'm going to get greedy if I get half a chance." Please!!!

Would you want someone to try to nail you just because you make a mistake?
You wouldn't? So why do you think it's OK to do it to someone else when you
wouldn't want it done to you? It's not just a few R/T owners. Greed
permeates our society and we are all the worse off for it. Contrary to
Michael Douglas' famous line from "Wall Street" greed is *not* good.
