This may sound unsympathetic,
But George, you bought it.
I have said this to myself many times.
In hopes that next time I'll slow my roll and know what it is I buying into.
We live, but must make an effort to learn.
I doubt there's anyone, (Except maybe Boo.) That has not betrayed themselves by buying the wrong one.
For a guy as cyclical as you are from time to time, one might hope that you can move past advertising and deceptive practices.
But wait, you say this was three or four yeas ago....Would that be around the time you received some cash from a family estate? If so all is forgiven. Nobody cab receive unexpected cash and maintain normal prudence.
I hope you are more pleased with your next purchase.
