Nice truism. Please explain how this might justify adding additional

adequately handle that which they already possess.

I don't think it's presumptuous at all. It's my considered opinion.

I have made no such presumption. I have merely attempted to distinguish
the term "need" from "want" (and I have, I believe, conceded the existence
of "want" while questioning the existence of "need"). The burden of proof
to demonstrate "need" lies with those who claim it exists.

We're discussing email formats here. I'd prefer to stick to that subject

technologies.
