I guess I do this for the same reason you chose to respond to me. ;-)

Well, not assumptions really, I just don't want to get into details about
particular individuals. I learned a long time ago that a lot of people --
most in fact -- will just quietly deal with issues like this instead of
complain for a variety of reasons.
My complaint here is that people had to make a decision without access to an
important factor, and that some people would have decided differently had
they known what they know now. I can accept that you may not see a problem
with that, but I do.
