       There is a tide in the affairs of men,
       Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
       Omitted, all the voyage of their life
       Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

Such action is a rational decision on your part, just as it is a
rational decision on my part to continue posting details + diagram
in order to reach the thousands-per-day of newcomers to the Internet.
