     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.
