No worries about you pointing fingers at me. I chose to ask this question as much for amusement as self reflection (can be very guilty of bad justifications, especially in my not too distant past). Its easier for me to see bad justifications if someone points them out. Trust me, I am no paragon of financial virtue let alone a cheapskate. A quick glance at my blog or some of my forum posts would give that away, lol.
