Good idea,
I can change the dialog accordingly.

However, my problem is that although dkg wrote:

I have no clue what opportunistic means.

I am not familiar with this word (and I am a technical guy).
But we should use terminology that's easy to understand.

And Wikipedia's explanation at least sounds not like being

> Opportunism is the conscious policy and practice of taking selfish

What's wrong with "convenient"?
