Oh I shall. As I said, it's a free country.

By the same token you are free play the secret squirrel with your expert
knowledge of ridge tiles.

Unlike you who seems to have to get someone in to do it anyway, I don't
claim to be an expert. Just observed how many roofs I see with chunks of
mortar missing from the ridge tiles.

It also likely depends on what sort of roof you have and what the ridge
tiles are made of. But don't let facts gets in your way.
