    I read about this 3 or 4 days ago in the Sydney Morning Herald.

    Yet I see dozens of crappy "stories" on slashdot that are not news - some idiot with a blog making a comment on something or other - belongs in idle.

    Perhaps it's time to just bite the bullet and move over to Digg since quality here is about the same now.

    They have the right to complain or seek publicity. They don't (or at least shouldn't; IANAL) have the right to demand money from the company just because they don't like their attitude.

    Good comment, but you would have looked more intelligent if you'd managed to spell "mammal" correctly.
