The basic problem is that the OP motivated his decision to do what he did, while you just said that he were wrong without motivating why that second matters so much for him. OP found a solution that worked for him, and then shared that solution to give other people with a similar problem the option to use the same solution. That is a good thing even if it doesn't apply everywhere. People are not sheep that copy things without reflecting on how it applies to them before implementing. (Well - perhaps some are, but there are plenty of even more stupid stuff out there for them to copy, so this solution to OP's problem will hardly make this problem worse) I didn't downvote you cause I don't have the downvote arrow, but I probably would have done so if I had had the ability to do so.
