Re: [DML] "dirt cheap" - was Number 147

[Mark Noeltner <mark@xxxx>]

Personally, I feel that you are being overly sensitive on this, and I don't
believe this is the type of thing the moderators should be watching for. 

"Dirt cheap" is just an alternate way of saying "very inexpensive". As you
say, most of us try to watch for bargains and good deals, or in other
words, inexpensive parts.

Obviously you are reading more into the term "dirt cheap" than most of us
do. I agree that it could have some bad connotations, but most people are
going to take it as it was meant - inexpensive - not as bad quality. I'm
sure that the people using the term "dirt cheap" love their DeLoreans just
as much as the rest of us. I sincerely doubt that the use of this term,
when used on an Internet mailing list while inquiring for parts, will have
any effect on the overall value of the cars. There are *many* other factors
that will have a far greater influence.
