I don't know why I can't voice an opinion here without it turning into a 
stupid war. If you think I pretended CA wasn't useful, it's in your own 
mind. I said no such thing. I said I don't carry it, and don't intend 
to. I couldn't care less what you use it on, how much, how often, or 
what flavor. You have my blessing to use gallons of it if that works for 
you. I also couldn't care less about what you think of my not carrying 
CA. It's not your decision. It's mine, so evangelize at someone else. I 
made a statement of personal preference. That's it. I don't have to 
justify it to your satisfaction, and I'm not trying to cram it down your 
throat, but I don't apparently get a similar courtesy.

I didn't even bring it up at all. You did.
