Yeah, and the highway patrol doesn't notice when I drive 6 miles above the
speed limit. That doesn't give me the right to do it. And if/when I get caught,
trying to use "It helped me do what I needed to do faster and I didn't think
you'd notice or care" as a defense isn't going to hold water, is it? (Yes, I
still do it knowing it's wrong, but I don't pretend it's my God-given right,
and that's the difference between me and Andy P.)
