Lemming, it is not the case that I cannot be arsed to maintain them rather that the place I am off to next is extremely hot and dusty; the dust having a texture/consistentcy similar to talc or ground French chalk. It (the dust), being so fine, gets everywhere and, when mixed with oil or grease, makes a fine grinding paste.
I doubt that the opportunity to do much skating will arise but if it does then I would like to be properly prepared; this includes having the proper set up (wheels and bearings). So I asked the civil question(s) to draw upon the experience of others to assist me. If the response had been that a bearing with an improved seal was available, at a reasonable price, then fine. Similarly, if the best response was to just reduce the maintainance interval and over oil the bearings, then that too would be an option to consider. Both of those responses I would class as being civil.
You appear to have high personal standards, and opinions, on skate maintainance and in light of this I should like to share a couple of snipits of advice:
1. If you continue to judge people by your own high standards then be prepared to be continually disappointed in life.
2. Do not pass judgement on people when you either ignore or are not in possesion of all the facts.
