Re: bundling apps with the OS must be harmful afterall

Mike,

Consumers see no need to post.  It is only the promoters and those with
financial interests in forcing consumers to pay money that would take
issue with the article.

Just like here.

But, you could address the issue.  I have noticed you failed to do so. 
Others have as well.

In fact you have said nothing intelligent at all in regard to consumer
financial harm.

That is the issue by the way, not my popularity or lack of it.

But, I guess when you know you are wrong, your only choice is to attack
the author.  Figures.  And, yes, that is consistent with what is going
on this list.  I can count a half a dozen of key issues ignored by many
yet they have plenty of time to conduct personal attacks and so-called
insults about putting their own heads below the sand.

Hey.  They can drop the list for all I care.  Or, they can just ignore
reality.
