Welcome to the site sh!t flinger, it's a great hang out with a bunch of good people.
I read the article and was thinking to myself....who cares? Other then the folks that say that did the work when they didn't I don't think it really matters. If I had Jay Lenos money I'd be buying more tools and teaching myself how to use them, I'd also be buying every car I thought I needed.
Round here you've got builders and buyers, guys that make 100k a year and guys that make millions a year. For the most part the respect here is even across the board, as long as you're not a Richard......don't be a Richard.
