- phaemon 13y agoYou didn't have any exceptions in your original post; are you adding some now? I'm not very impressed with the "yeah, but those countries are different" reasoning, especially when it's not made clear why the difference is in any way relevent. It does, however, seem to be the go-to excuse for not doing things these days.
