That wasn't an insult.
I felt telling you not to do screwball things was sound advice. If you took it as an insult, I apologize.

If you want to do work on your chest twice a week have you considered something along the lines of a 4 day upper/lower split?
This would allow for chest work twice a week along with proper balanced work everywhere else.

BigJosh has a great point about designing your own routine. My advise? Use one of the tried and true. Save yourself time and frustration. A benefit of using a tried and true routine is that when a question arises, there are many around here who can help diagnose the problem. Saving them time and frustration.

I would also add, actually echo others, there is no need for two chest days. Chest/Pecs get indirect work on both shoulder and back days. If you are going to double up, double the largest muscles.
