I don't think there's really a strong potential for a meaningful discussion in this thread, so I'm putting the kibosh on it.
If anyone has serious objections to the closure of this thread, please use the report post button on this or any other post in the thread to send a note to the moderating team for reconsideration or PM me. If I'm not too busy manicuring my nails or trying on new clothes, I'll reconsider it myself.
