I don't recall anything about "cheapness" in the original post, rather I believe the use of the pseudo-swatstika(sp?) and pseudo-naziism was offensive. Probably many people have referred to someone as "cheap," but not many display a swatstika because it connotes fervent hatred, bigotry and intolerance perhaps accompanied by violent acts. (Though I don't like it, I do consider hate-speech free speech.) The harm in racial and other slurs is found in the hate, fear and intimidation they provoke.
Tawdry use of slurs is not always restricted to members of the group the slur was originally intended to be derisive toward, but most frequently it is, due to cultural awareness that must usually be experienced to become properly interpretted-- consider how ignorant it would be for someone with no knowledge of a subject to proclaim another knowledgeable in that subject. Something to think about before you slur african americans.
Those unorthodox hardware hackers need more serious help!:)
I'm still curious at about what cpu speed software raid (mirror) becomes viable--I guess I'll find out when I try raidifying a couple old uw-scsi drives on a p233.
