This is a rather rude analogy.....would you say the same about
private detectives, policeman, FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, tax

to investigate 'in your opinion' is not appropriate, but 'others
opinions' may not be the same as yours !!

Many Many people do not hold your point of view, I am beginning

generally speaking.
