You do make a good point.

I would be comfortable trying this option first. But if it is
unsuccessful, I would then demand the nuclear option.

I get one of these challenge requests with *every* message I send to
this list. It's quote annoying and has been a reason that, on occasion,
I have elected *not* to post. I'm sure it's stopping others from
contributing more as well.
