Except in my mind I didn't get the problem fixed, I suppose because I didn't convince you.  Now, however, if we didn't spam everyone into a coma, they have read our arguments and understand my objection and your motivation.  If they, like you, feel your way is needed to fix a perceived problem, you'll have convinced them.  If they, like me, feel your way causes undesirable problems, I'll have convinced them.  That's what public discussion is presumably for.

So I'll thank you not to tell me that I shouldn't have been trying to convince anyone but you.  After all, if you were only trying to convince me with your counter arguments, they didn't have to go to -discuss either.
