If you'd like a cogent, non-'partisan', fact-based discussion, please
restate whatever it is you are trying to say here after reading what I wrote
in the context in which it was written. Note I am not trying to influence
_your_ actions, but rather, provide some balance to the record of your
hyperbolic enthusiasm as it regards what might be (mis?)construed as
sweeping recommendations to others. (We are moving, once again beyond the
OP's question.)
