It is comments like this that lead people in the direction that this thread went. This type of "smugness" can be very hurtful to others.
As a moderator you may want to learn to stick to the original question.
i'm sorry, but you erroneously added meaning into my post that simply was not there. it was not a blanket accusation. i also didn't call anybody names.
i happen to shop in all sorts of venues ... including the LQS. i have some fabs in my stash that cost more per yard than i ever dreamed i'd spend.
my point, made primarily to inject humor into a testy conversation, was that those who refuse to shop for the low-priced fabs leave more for me when i'm hunting a rock bottom bargain.
you have my permission to think of me as greedy. you may, if you wish, remain convinced that i didn't choose words you like. but i am not anti-LQS and i am not anti-LQS-devotee'.
i am anti-get-my-knickers-in-a-twist-about-something-that-shouldn't-matter-in-the-first-place.
Patrice,
I'm sorry but words like 'I hope they cling desperately to their delusions' cannot be taken any way but as derogatory. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks so.
