 Hmmm, unless I missed something, it was lists like this that generated
the recent Best-Buy wireless energy, which resulted in sub-actions,
eventually causing the company to stop and re-evaluate things.
 
 As for sh*t software, vendors, typical end-users, etc., it will take
time, but if the catalyst weakens now, energy expended is lost. I say
continue the march.
