Seperated for emphasis...

Exactly. I choose BY-SA becuase it is the closest thing that CC has that
matches with my copyleft bent.

I am certainly not interested in allowing someone to remove the SAness of my
stuff by any means at all. (Well, on a case by case basis, I may let their
money have a conversation with my bank account about the removal of SA.)

One of the beauties of an SA remix culture is that even this temptation could
be removed from me in a large number of cases.
