I have ZERO interest in discussing other safe havens here. I do have an issue in discussing, among other things, the rules in THIS group ABOUT discussing other safe havens however, because I have an issue with the general principle involved there that I thought warranted some examination.

I see. You have no interest in discussing other safe havens here, you just want to be able to. hahahahahaha
