Sure it counts for something. It’s counted every one of the million or so times you’ve said it. And, in fact, it’s been discussed in at least one thread in “About This Message Board” – and elsewhere as well. Each time, the reasons _against_ that idea have been explained. So it’s not that your opinion doesn’t count, it’s simply that it’s been outweighed by others with better reasons. But if you want to discuss it some more, I’d be happy to go over it yet again in “About This Message Board,” and you can even use your perceptions about this case to explain your reasoning if you’d like.
