Philosophy of boring DIY...

I've posted several topics on DIYA over the past few mos. All of them -- almost predictably now it seems -- dissolve into non-issues. I.e., not a lot of outside-the-box thinking ... methinks
Most of my "DIY" time is now on non-English sites like Player.ru and a few sites from Asia.
While the language barrier is large, and all I can do is read (just barely) using Google Translate, etc., -- and can't really post -- these obstacles seem worth the bennies. Namely, modding or building-from-scratch very inexpensive projects.
Many of the members of these non-English forums seem younger ... so maybe more fresh ideas, with more zest to experiment, and members seem to be genuinely cash-strapped (unlike the English-based forums) ... so the economies-of-scale are a lot bigger.
Comparatively, the English-speaking-forum "DIYers", being older, have their bank accounts and retirement incomes ... and, hence, a lot of drive/passion are diminished ... and, anyway, one loses the drive to experiment and explore as s/he ages into old-geezerhood-decrepitude... so the projects are no longer as groundbreaking ... to say nothing of interesting .
And INTERESTING, folks, is what DIY is all about ... cause there's nothing worse than boredom ... and boring DIY stinks of suckiness ... all the way to those lazy, super-$ Digi-Key orders

Cheers ...
