why get upset over the term 'wannabe' ?

we are all wannabes by one measure or another,
I, for example, wannabe a better tester; and I work diligently at it

when someone posts here wannabeing a wb mfgr/vendor, then an evaluation WILL be made of their efforts;
in design, materials, proof-of-design testing, manufacturing methods, inspection/QC, and - oh yes - incidentally the price
-> but most here (and elsewhere) are interested in performance
(else the Dell box is just fine, eh ?)

when someone is observed who:
doesn’t know, won't listen, can't learn, complains about criticism, and persistently chooses the 'low performance' path -- what is one to think ?

come on ‘geek, get a grip
if you wish to make cheap stuff that's fine by me, just don't peddle your ignorance as technical 'knowledge'

it ain't 'all the same'
