I agree with Seth, why ask advice on something that we consider a joke? .
Why?
To keep from being hypocrites ...
Everyone goes on about what a friendly forum this is without the snobs and intolerance of SFI and others... it would seem that the snobbery exists , but on a different scale?
Please realize the SFI crowd finds Cheness and DSA to be a joke... and it ticks most folks here off... so if evrtone really wants to not be like them... to be a friendly forum... they'll decline from telling this gentleman that his choice is a joke and just advise...or not.
Just my 2 cents
While there is a lesson in your words above Marc, and I agree with the idea behind them... there IS clear languge on the SBG main site that our whole intended purpass is to find affordable FUNCTIONAL swords and to help people avoid the Wallhangers and SLO's that might look like swords but are, in fact, not swords.
Thus this whole thread goes against the intended purpass of SBG.
It's like going to a vegan resturant and asking for a big juicy hamburger, RARE.
With the SFI disdain for 'lesser' sword makers... it is more basic snobery IMO becuase the swords they dislike are functional, just not good enough for them. A wallhanger is not even in the same ballpark as functional... so I don't think your above comparasion really applies here... tho the idea behind it is sound and certainly holds true.
Thats my... er... $0.04. Heh.
