Incorrect.  My reasoning is not for my specific situation.  My reasoning
relates to the fact that there are *many* situations being affected, and
the fact that people like you are essentially of the opinion that some of
us can go screw ourselves because our situations are not yours.

I didn't say what I did because I figure you can go screw yourself if
your situation is different from mine.  I said it because your very
individual solution to the problem is not *everyone's* choice, and
shouldn't have to be.  The fact you have a solution that works for you is
not a blanket justification for everyone else either liking it or lumping
it.
