For some reason, some people want to maintain their right to be offended
and get all bent out of shape when they misconstrue a suggestion as
being something that runs counter to their mindset. They are clients,
they are likely to have lots of time on their hands and it would give
them a way to pay back for some of what they have been taking. Some
people would appreciate the chance.
