Sometimes I wonder what you see when you read people's posts.

Of course you may find this entirely reasonable, if so I'll give it another shot. ;)

No!
Let me explain.
Q. What is your biggest reason for not creating another "What is your biggest reason" thread?

A. That it's an unreasonable reason.
​
To put it in an easier to understand form.

Myreason for not doing X is that it (my reason) is unreasonable. Think about it. Does it make sense or not? Of course it doesn't. If I followed through with its logic I would create another "What is your biggest reason" thread. If it's unreasonable that I don't do X, it should be reasonable that I do.

It was just a little jape at your creation of a question about the question itself. Not to be taken seriously, but simply a ploy to elicit "meaningful" dialog. Thanks for taking me up on it, silly as it was.

Ah! Now I get it! (I don't really but for some reason that seemed like the best response anyway).
