This quote was posted by a fellow member in my camera club’s forum ...
The Amateur worries about equipment. The Pro worries about money. The Master worries about the light.
As I think about the best photos I’ve ever made, it’s true that the best were made when the main thing on my mind was the light.

A favorite quote of mine that is relavant here:
An amatuer is concerned with equipment
A pro is concerned with money
A master is concerned with light
 
Therefore, those on this forum who are So concerned with gear are rank amatuers, myself included
