I happen to agree with this sentiment but I really wish we could give
this endless argument a rest.
It's come up over and over for at least a decade, we have never come close
to resolving it, and we're not going to do it right now.
I totally agree, which is why I avoided responding to this thread for so long. However, I thought it was worth responding to clarify what I took to be the appropriate role of the LLC in this, and I figured if I was going to do that, I should probably be transparent about the merits.
