Agree 100%. I've written longer responses like this on various web forums and email lists, but these days don't have the energy to keep hammering on this nail. Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you for the agreement. It's worth it to me to keep writing these things. My ideas aren't perfect, and I understand that.

But there are good reasons to keep telling people that this is a reasonable way to do things.

It's clearly not the only way to do things, but I'm tired of this idea that it's an awful, terrible way to do things.

There are way to do this that don't suck, and there are legitimate benefits.

It's not always the best way to do things.

But I often feel like we're dealing with people who haven't properly considered the options when we get into thee kinds of threads.
