So, Greguar, if you'd prefer, I will back out of the Colorado buy lest your guilt / disdain for newbie buys cannibalizing local shops is accentuated by my involvement. Incidentally, I've bought plenty at retail locally, plenty online, and a few good "steals" off local boards. But I digress. I'll walk away from this and let the regulars take the deal. I can fend for myself, thanks. I just thought maybe the comraderie on the site, and the passion for the sport would be unversal. Guess it's not.
Later.
