While true, that still falls in the "you" category, not the "we" category. The fact that there are plenty of people here doing that very thing sort of precludes us from being able to use the word "we" in this capacity.

Again, "you" maybe, "me" definitely, "we" becomes no longer true once some of the "other we's" do the thing.
