Steve,
I think everyone understood your point and no one took it as a personal attack. The fact that you made it seem as though the users of AquaSkinz belonged to a click or were about making a fashion statement is what I question.
It is akin to saying that people who use high end Shimano, Daiwa, Lami, Loomis, Whaler, Mako etc. belonging to the same.....not exactly accurate.
Both Ditch and Patrick made great points and are valid. The fact that a certain demographic needs this type of product and another doesn't but chooses to use it shouldn't be a point of contention by you or anyone else.
Plus, you question price, I understand you may not be familiar with manufacturing,the costs of raw goods and the overall process. There are multiple factors that affect the overall price of any item. The better the materials and process, the more it is going to cost, period. I always say, don't just look at the surface of something and make an assumption, delve down to the core of it and make an educated comment.
Also, whether you know someone personally or not, it is not appropriate to tell someone to go back to sleep and come out in 29 days...whether it was in joking or not.
As I said, everyone has a right to his or her opinion, don't just make a blanket statement, know something about what your saying before you say it.
If you were to ask me why my products cost a little more than say a Canyon or a Surfcaster, I would be able to explain it to you and you would have a better understanding.
