No, you never need any opinion that is in conflict with yours. I'm not going to
argue with you for a variety of reasons, not least because the decision is not
yours. You have shown you don't care what anyone else thinks on this or any
other issue, and believe me, the feeling is reciprocated. I offered my thoughts
for the people whose decision this really is, and I leave it with them.
