Excellent post, in fact I’d say POST OF THE DAY.
Thanks, amigo.
I am tempted to post (without names) all the emails I got from people who agreed with me (and the small number of people who dared speak up) but who didn’t want the flak and grief (and outright hate).
But writing styles sometimes can point to the poster and I take the rule about no reposting PMs very seriously — even when anonymized.
