True enough - and there are quite a few that I don't answer for similar
reasons.

Also true, and I guess I was a bit glib, so - point taken.

I have seen this kind of insistent desire to do things that I consider
rather silly too many times on IRC. It is often associated with an
unwillingness to learn why the solution desired is not a good one.

I shall strive to avoid the temptation to be dismissive - thanks for the
reminder!
