I think that unless you practice this strict diet (no closed-source tool, no google, etc) then saying that usage of Facebook is "more evil" than the next is hypocritical. In the end, saying "service X is evil and I won't use it" is almost always a rationalization. If you take that approach to its logical end, then you should be a hermit in a cave in Nepal, growing the food you eat. In reality, we choose compromises based on cost (time or money), and those choices are subjective. I have no problem with anybody having strong opinions about which compromises are better than others, so long as you realize that you are arguing from a purely subjective basis. There is no "fact" underneath most of these arguments, just feelings of which tradeoffs are acceptable. -I -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyWeb-IL" group.
