So who appointed you "external conscience for the forum" or chief Hall-Monitor?

Since one of the confusions of which you complain was addressed to me, I must REPEAT that Levy cleared it up immediately and to my 100% satisfaction. I do not need an advocate to pursue a contrived grievance, thanks very much.

As for your issue about budgets; it is another truism or "self-evident fact" that budget plays a part in most decisions made by most people. What a boring world it would be if "price" were the only permitted answer...

"Why did you select that VW Toureg SUV?"
"Because I like the shape and the engine and the features."
"Not true! It was because of the price."
"Well obviously price comes into it, but there are cheaper SUVs out there and we picked the Toureg because wee really like it. Price wasn't the main decision point."
"If you say untruths like that, God has appointed me as chief prefect to reprimand you. Bad, bad, bad."
"OK, what do I care. If you say I chose the Toureg because of price, fine."
"Ha! Another win for me. People will soon start to love me once they see that I am always right."
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
