I like the consistency of Mark's convictions. I've come to expect his expression of an aesthetic that I believe raises the bar beyond just having something we drag along behind our vehicles, and creates an expectation that we should either live up to, or reject on merits that we can defend.
.
Many have done so, on the simple and perfectly justifiable grounds that they can't afford to do so, don't have the same appreciation, etc.
.
Still, I think each and every one would agree that expanding the possibilities is of merit, particularly since the OP may not have as much exposure to other threads as others.

Keep it up Mark!
