    Well that's a first. I've never seen that appended to a message before. "Informative" and yet "-1" score at the same time. Hmmm. I guess I offended some Apple fan.

    The truth is that I don't love Apple. Or Sony. Or Warner Records. Or any other company. Loving an inanimate building or corporate logo is just silly (IMHO) If they violate the law, reagrdless who they are, then they should be prosecuted like MicroSoft, the CD companies, and Paypal were prosecuted.
