This was a highly enjoyable read.
I always thought the hardtail suggestion was intended to steer people toward spending less when they aren't sure if they really want to dive into the money pit. I've seen enough people take a passing interest in different hobbies just long enough to buy the gear. Then they either lose money on resale or keep accumulating stuff that goes unused.
