>(carry viruses, corrupt their operating system etc).
Bryan:
Well giving them software that produces "abc" that is inconsistent with any
other abc isn't exactly doing them favours is it?

Me:
But that's what market forces are all about. It's the customer's job
to decide how many favours and how many disfavours the software
bestows.  If their whims differ too much from the developers then
they won't use it.  If enough of them like it then eventually the
world will come round to it.  Doing line ends with ! was a mistake,
but I think most software now handles it.
