So... what are you asking? Far too much detail and lack of sentences for me to plow my way through the post and decipher.
Tim... is that you? CGOAB members will understand.
(I just read one of your other postings and can confirm it is you. Some interesting times ahead in the forum...)

the component makers are in a gizmo competition with each other . like it or strip it and put something else on,
sell the over fancy stuff to someone who feels inadequate without the latest kit.

Your multiple posts indicate a strong concern for having updated components and spares; what are you concerned about?
I run 8sp and 7sp on all my bikes. Parts still available. Parts will still be available for years to come. Bike marketeers dream about making the buying public obsessed with latest gear; there is no need to get fixated on minor differences between 9sp and 10sp. As long as your bike has an adequate low gear and a reasonable mid and high gear, things will be fine.
Why do you constantly post about latest components and gadgets? People tour and camp with less durable and less expensive equipment than you currently have. Certainly by now you have what is needed to do your tours.
Why do you call yourself a hobo -- I am not sure how hobos are able to constantly upgrade expensive components and buy spares.

This is an unfortunate situation and will come to no good. Check out CGOB. I hope the mods/admins will take care of this.
