So color me out, I guess. I'm not throwing any tantrums over it. It just is what it is.

I’ve missed you, James!
But totally respect your decision to opt out based on financial and/or philosophical/moral objections.
I suspect most of us are also having to be strategic in our approach. Even those of us who have money to burn are probably wondering whether it makes sense to blow it on cardboard. Certainly I have revised my approach to be much more targeted, and my pace of acquisitions has slowed dramatically. But part of that could also be that there aren’t many items left on my wish list, and like you, most of the upgrades would require far too many zeroes to leave my bank account.
