[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16367"] I'm not sure if I understand the term "elitism" as it is directed towards pipes. Is the definition held by members here that if a pipe costs $300, or $500, or $1,000 it is an "elitist" pipe- or is it an "elite" pipe? I just don't get it. I can say this. There are things in this world that I can afford, and things in this world that I cannot afford- but aspire to afford. For the things I can afford I celebrate my good fortune and the effort to which I spent to get what I want, but at the same time I do not call what I cannot afford "elitist." I may call something elite! As in wicked cool- or the best of the best. But I'm not in any kind of denial and say that's elitist just because I can't afford something bigger or better or more expensive than what I own. Again- I just don't get it. [/QUOTE]
