For a grouch, you are pretty helpful!

I am not exactly tight on cash, but I am frugal enough to live with the heavier components as is for a while. And I'm a bit impatient to get going on a winter project.
I remain a bit concerned about the Ashtabula crank after
my recent upgrade ordeal.
I'm also ignorant about forged vs stamped dropouts. I'm just sort of assuming that forged is better, but why? Would a stamped dropout be a larger issue if at some point down the road I wanted to upgrade the dérailleur? or convert to a SS/FG?
