I admire your persistence, but perhaps you should take a step back and
look at the history here. You just want this override. Then someone
else does, and then, someone else. Eventually we are all overridden.

Remember, you aren't unique here, as much as you might feel like you are
:)

Please listen to what Alan and Mike are saying, experience matters, and
they are trying to impart it to you, despite your most fervent attempts
to avoid it.

good luck,
