I see the point, but what about when they come on and advertising sales, like the developer of blind square did not terribly long ago. Or KNFB Reader in the past. I just think it’s hair splitting.

I think this post got singled out, and even though I don’t care about this product, I know a bunch of folks do. So whatever.
