No. Please don't.

Give reasoning for your stupid statement.

If it was so stupid, why did it take you 12 days to respond? That said,
cross-posting without using a "Follow-up To:" flag provides a conduit for
off topic flame wars to escalate in several groups, with all groups tied
together for the duration of the war. Nothing like a 100 post off-topic
thread permeating several groups instead of just the one.
