Hi Geoff,
Not replying for PeterA, but for speaking only for myself: i think most people are dishonest, and many of those are not aware of their own dishonesty. There are lots of reasons why people lie to themselves about things, including because the super-expensive well-reviewed ultra-thingie...

Look in the mirror, “son.”
Thanks for being the troll I sensed you to be. It makes it more entertaining to read your horse manure.
Why are you here? What is your real objective? Did you think being rude and insulting would magically produce a $200 amp? There are better ways for finding a good...
