Fair enough. I'm happy to have contending viewpoints on the matter and civil discussion about it. You've given me a lot to think about and more research to do, and I appreciate that.
I don't know that I'll remember to come back and comment here when I've done all that, so in the event I forget, I hope you have an excellent day/week/month/year/life.
Thanks for the note. I just wanted to stop back and say that I appreciate it. It's not my intent to win an argument, and I was thinking about leaving Reddit before the API fiasco because it seemed like it has a culture of combat-by-verbiage. My username is an old, nautical version of shooting the breeze, or chewing the fat, talking just for the pleasure of talking. That's what I was going for here, and mission accomplished.
