It's funny that some of you perceive yourselves to be against my rudeness.

You don't understand what I'm saying, and then when I explain in detail so
you FINALLY (partially) understand, you call it a "rant".  It would have
been easier if you'd listened the first time.

Turning this back into a useful discussion is beyond Julian's pale.  I
already stated the facts, which is that aggregator developer's use this as a
way to sell product.

I don't much cotton to quoting my own posts.  But is there something about
this that is unclear, and does this not simultaneously illustrate a LOTta
the difference between theory and reality:
