Oh, I'm not all that worked up about this; my own contribution was simply to observe that "it's just one button you can get rid of" isn't really a good justification for this. It's the exact same justification spammers use. Sure, if there were only one spammer in the world, and we only heard from him/her once in our lifetimes (or even once a month), it would be fine. But once one person came up with the idea, others followed, and now our email boxes are filled with it, forcing lots of people to spend considerable time working on ways to deflect most of the spam.

The same thing could happen with software, plug-ins, whatever; someone gets the bright idea of "enhancing" your experience by adding something to your computer without bothering with asking permission, and the next thing you know, they're all doing it. It's not something I want to have happen on a regular basis. I don't think what PP did was illegal or especially evil; I do think it was rude and inconsiderate, and I hope they'll knock it off. I'm not going to hold my breath and turn blue about it, though. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
