Erich,
A good point, John wrote me privately with similar elegance. I didn't
mean to argue one side or the other of this. I enjoyed the complements I got
on the Jag, even though I had no intention of keeping it. And I'm still happy
to have Randy's dash in my car (actually it will go in at present rate in
Bush's 5th term). I didn't know what John's attitude was when I replied, but
I thought my experience might be a balance. I don't maintain an absolute
dichotomy on my projects -- things I want to, I do; things that I'm happy to
let others do better, I also do. It isn't all one or the other unless you
choose so; John evidently does, as do you. I was presenting the viewpoint of
another, not opposing, segment

Chris,
For some people the a perfect end result is the most important factor.
For others, the process of doing the work yourself is as or more important
than the final result.
Neither is right or better, they just are.
To ask why someone would ever want to do it themselves when they can just
buy it, shows an incomprehension of what motivates a large segment of our
hobby.
