I never downvote because I "don't like", and so should you.

Being in a majority doesn't make you more right. Ironically, this is a part of the mindset some minorities had to fight against.

I did, and other people have made some replies with which I agreed. Therefore, no point for me to repeat the same things.
Now that was indeed a jewel. What it lacks in brevity it more than makes up for in depth. My hat off to you sir.
If you don't like the OP, then simply downvote and move on. Lot's of people in this thread find it valuable and are actually willing to say as much. They are even so gracious as to outline their argument for it's utility, in detail. Maybe you should read what they have to say and engage with that.
