That question raises a question that I've been wanting to ask several times.  So,
although I'm asking it in this thread, it isn't solely directed at you.

When someone on this list asks for help in modifying a behavior to suit their
needs/desires why are they often asked to justify their requests?  In this case, and
in may others, I can't see that seeking/offering justification will help in finding a
solution.
