You obviously zoned out over the part about whether or not all of the public and private resources expended on the MS witch hunts is worth this. "Your house is burned down to the ground and the exterminator final bill is in the mid-6 figures, but we finally got that termite problem licked." I don't know if it is worth it or not. You apparently think it is with your infinite wisdom. Usually this is sort of thing that markets (and their millions of interested actors) typically decide, because, you know, hubris isn't a reliable market input. I don't want the EU or DOJ deciding that the Subway $5 foot-long sub is unfair and should be $7, or 10 inches, because it makes the Quiznos sub guys have to stay late at work and miss tucking in the kids at night, because all that competing stuff is really, really hard. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
