The question is whether I am omitting facts, or giving wrong or
partial information like Moon, and the answer is I never did. I have
recommended Rebirth often enough if it was the better choice, or at
least told people about both possibilities, explaining the differences
between XL and Rebirth in a fair way.

be a waste of time. Is trying to thing really that painful for you?
