Re: money going out out out results

Hello Carla,

I also thought that remark ("If  you have to ask, then you can't afford it")
was a little crass.   I am always concerned about how much "things" cost
because I value my hard-earned dollars.  I make a good living and can well
afford this "sport", but I will continue to "ask" before spending because it
is the wise thing to do.

Don't let comments like this deter you from endurance, as there are many
wonderful people in this sport.  There are also many helpful people on this
list that are willing to share their knowledge.   You know what they
say....... there is always one in every crowd.  Just overlook it and keep
right on "asking".
