im guessing this tactic means DaveF has to close his channels and reaggregate his funds into new channels quite often if they are pushing payments via him so often. (well more often than he likes as he seems to be complaining that he is being used as a middleman)
maybe he should up his fees.. to take advantage of his predicament.. or sway them away from using him as a middleman

Not complaining just trying to understand why people are doing some things and if what I am doing to facilitate them doing it is the proper way.

It's probably not worth the effort providing justification for your choices to the resident LN Troll-in-Chief there. They won't accept it anyway, it contradicts the voices in their head who tell them what to do. He's a headcase.
There are some who just despise the fact that people are free to use LN if they choose to, so they feel the need to seize every opportunity to attack it. Nothing will placate them.
It certainly looks as though you're doing things properly. You simply happened to be the most economical route available on this occasion. It's possible, if they've been sending lots of payments recently, that some of the other channels they've used previously are now unbalanced and don't have sufficient capacity to route anything else at the moment.
Keep doing what you're doing. Your very existence proves franky1's false narratives wrong. You don't have to be one of the "big players" to contribute. Individuals are just as important to the overall utility and usability of the network.
