[thelist] To those ones who can't wait (is: IP theft)

[April]

Well, I was think the lot of them are freaks.

I was offended to see a screen capture compared to rape.  I'm sorry, I know 
people take their big business seriously, but acting like a typical act of 
the rumor mill just ended the world is ridiculous.

Oh well, kids will be kids.  They'll all beat their chests at each other 
and shed tears and intimidate each other into agreeing that, yes, we are 
all highly offended by something that probably has less ramification on 
your life than being cut off in traffic does.  I mean, you can die if your 
speeding car slams into them.  You can, like, see that the next photoshop 
has menus at the top like 6 did from a screenshot--affear!.  Of course, 
they're probably not that offended when they cut someone off.  Only if it's 
done to them. ;)

And since I don't want to have loud noises made at me, I'm not mailing this 
on the list.  Didn't want you to feel like the only voice of reason around 
here, though.
