Easy there Hunch.
First of all, I did offer some possible method of doing what the OP asked. I wasn't advising the OP to strictly avoid that step completely, I merely suggested that (depending on what processing was actually happening) it may not always be necessary whereas in certain circumstances (I even gave some examples) it would be beneficial to the end user.
To be honest I don't feel that it was justified to comment about making 'flippant' responses, and to suggest that I have no clue as to what I'm talking about, seemed a little uncalled for.
