Of course, I should have added that he has a right to his opinion, but
so do I. I believe in patents, intellectual property, and the right of
a corporation to deceptively market products to me in an attempt to
get my money. I do not believe companies owe me anything, whether I've
given them money or not, and Santa Claus.
Cheers,
