Excellent point, Adam.

But posting a reminder in a public forum (whether fact or opinion) will lead to discussion.

And here is a fact. I initially felt this thread was started as a political statement. However, I felt that a reminder to all might keep it from becoming a political discussion and ultimately getting shut down. Proof that no good deed goes unpunished.
