The reality of the situation is that there was a logical, economic answer to your question that is widely known and yet entirely ignored in your post. I mean, it's not like you sat down and gave a logical discussion of the issue and then CONCLUDED with your point...you just made a blind, ill-conceived statement to attempt to create controversy. That isn't starting discussion...that's just posting shit.
You did the same thing here with this post. You posted a thought...not a detailed thought, just something you decided you'd share. While these kinds of posts are generally considered to be fine in posts ABOUT something, they don't start them. It's not that your opinion is being deemed invalid...it's being deemed inconsequential and not worthy of its own topic in its one-sided and lame state.
Your better bet? Find an older thread and bitch in it. Less posts clogging up the board, and just as much fun with colours.
