Well, read what I wrote above:  I did not say that unless you come up
with a compelling reason, I will not listen to you.  I said that
unless you can come up with a compelling reason, I'd recommend a
change.

That is, I am willing to change my recommendation upon hearing a good
reason for doing so.  I can perfectly accept that you have a different
opinion and voice it, but that does not force me to agree to it.  I
simply stated that your arguments up to now have not convinced me to
change my opinion to yours about this matter, and I stated why (you
cut out that part from my reply).

Seems that I am not too gifted with regard to getting my point across
without seeming offensive.  Sorry for that.
