Ha, I actually love that analogy! I will neither confirm nor deny whether I've eaten ramen dry from the package before...

I really didn't mean any offense, so I apologize. I was just trying to find an analogy for a feeling that I've otherwise found difficult to articulate, but I probably did not adequately convey the lighthearted sarcastic tone I intended. My bad.

As I said at the top of my last post, I would never intentionally begrudge or shame anyone for using tools they feel are a better fit for them -- to each their own.
