Hey, it's all good. Everybody is entitled to their opinions. While I do think the negotiable comments are a bit harsh, it is a public forum and you are free to say what you want about it. Hell, this is pretty tame compared to some of the crap that is spewed over on Pinside.
Thanks again for all the comments guys! Especially the positive ones!
swinks: I can't wait to hear about your project! I love the ground up builds! I would have loved to have gone that route, but I thought it was a bit too much to take on my first time out. Maybe for my next build!
