Its my reality and my experience with those who run this site. Whatever my reasons, such is my choice. I have all the experience with those running this service to know that i would rather not risk it. better decompressed and safe than compressed and flawed in a way i do not discover until after the fact. The risks are both small and I have chosen the one I prefer. I do not have to give you my reasons or even make them clear to you. you may disagree all you wish but It will make know difference to my final choice.
