Ah. From that point of view, I understand the tone of your response.
I suppose that if I fielded trouble calls from people trying to do
unsupported things like multiple external drives, I'd probably want
to discourage such behavior, too. People doing support usually have it
pretty rough.

Recommending that people do what's safe is a Good Thing in general.
It's pity that the side effect can be to discourage people from doing
something reasonable.
