I get why you feel that way, but I think from the standpoint of issues being in the public, it is helpful to know what opinions are out there, so there isn't all this shadowy speculation or vague references to "people have said". But of course, one should do what they feel comfortable doing. And yeah, burying something in 12 pages of nonsense can feel like putting your hand in a blender.
Also why I advocate for some sort of way of gathering data, other than random comments in person or sprinkled throughout various threads.
Sorry about the allergies. I know it sounds crazy, but I know people who swear by acupuncture for it, and there is a low cost teaching clinic in Austin (2 in fact).
