A firmly-held but poorly-thought-out opinion? How unusual.

Many of the other comments on this thread point out what the "hurt" is, and it is not trivial, neither is it particularly difficult to understand. Unless you choose not to.

Don't be lazy and just point to "other comments". If you have an opinion, express it. After all, you've held mine to such a high standard.

No thanks, if you're too lazy to ready any other comments there's little point debating anything with you.

Why are you assuming I haven’t read the other threads? Are you really that worried about expressing an opinion? You know this isn’t reddit - you wont get crucified for it.

Relax, stop being so combative and engage in some discussion. Otherwise why are you replying to me in the first place?

Because if you have read the other comments (not threads), and you are capable of reading comprehension, you will be aware that this adds compliance costs for everyone in the space, and is especially disastrous for any small operators that cannot afford to employ people specifically to deal with red tape. "Can't hurt" indeed...

Also, thanks for pointing out this isn't Reddit, I wasn't aware.
