Well said. I think it would be interesting to see the reactions/votes/comments to this broken down by age group. I suspect those > 30, by and large, agree strongly with you, those between 25 and 30 would be a mixed group, and those younger than 25 would think you are a crazy person. I have no "data" to back this up but it's my guess.

Well written - thanks for sharing. (And I'm 40 if that matters)
