Wholeheartedly agree, but i think i did make that point. Ease of 
avialability does not make a Mod does it, what makes it, is actually 
choosing it and more importantly sticking with it for a long period 
of time or ideally for  the whole of your life in some form.  
Ease of availability will never change that, but may find it easier 
esp younger kids with little cash.  From there on in they may stcik 
with it.
