Hey Brett, What Crawled Up Your Bunghole? WAS LAC Using an FM Transmitter/MP3 Player: BAD!

[Alex Kowalski]

Brett continues his anti-corporate rant:

>a)prevent returns because retailers usually have a clause about
>undamaged packaging
>b)doesn't permanently devalue the product (and hence future versions)
>unlike a "sale".
>c)can reward (or penalize by excluding them) specific retailers
>without annoying others (no price war/matching)
>d)little loss, since few people bother to send them in, or the store
>doesn't give you enough copies...or terms are constructed to make it
>easy to reject, or the rebates are simply filed in the "circular file"
>e)they get your mailing address, telephone number, and often your
>email...which they can sell to data mining companies
>I'm sure I'm missing a few...but they're pretty evil.

I mean, except from your cats?  Oh, wait, you're a Linux Kernel guy, and an
MIT know-it-all.  Also a cat person.

You never bother with anything except your own nonsense, Brett.  And people
are getting sick and tired of you, especially me, Mr. Lapsed Unitarian
Universalist.  Why don't you go run your own country from a private island
and sit and tell us all about how the world is raping us dummies?

I can't believe Dan chose this blowhard with an obvious chip on his shoulder
to run this list on his behalf.  He's a disgrace.
