MODERATOR’S NOTE:
The challenge with many of the new threads started by the OP is that most seem to be in the hypothetical vein or “What do you think about…” as opposed to questions directly impacting him/her. Which is fine - no prohibition against that. With no qualifier like “for me” I’m assuming this is posed as general interest.
To that end, I’m closing the thread as one already exists. Feel free to join the conversation there.
