You do seem awfully determined to have the absolute last word on everything
said on this subject, and you do tend to interpret any disagreement or
different viewpoint on this issue as a personal attack.

People have the right to have differing viewpoints-- it is NOT about you at
all.

I really have to agree with what just about everyone else has said.  Leave
it.  You have posted your views about MFAs about twenty-five times so far,
and it is getting extremely repetitive.  Nobody is soliciting your agreement
with their differing viewpoints.  Your response isn't advancing the
discussion.

I hope you can hear this without turning it into another long defensive
argument.
