I rest my case. That has been my point all along. "They should have had the 
foresight to buy it when it is available" - what if they weren't around or 
didn't have the funds when it was available?

What you have described above is the greed, which will probably see both 
those AD60's rust into nothing, instead of a proactive effort to see at 
least one operational, even if by another society.

Bloody disgusting, IMHO.
