Perhaps in your experience. As I outlined in mine (which you quoted) I've not experienced that, so there's no theoretical of the internet involved when I responded to your earlier post. It was based on my experience. As I mentioned I've been asked many times. Sometimes I said yes; sometimes I said no. I've not experienced what you have when I've said no.
Cheers.
