I am afraid that I do not see the point.  Especially since you trumpet
this line of reasoning (if you can call it that) in several news groups.
It just looks like the general impression of you on the net as just a
petty little ankle biter is so very true.  For you to ask for toleration
of your opinion is the height of arrogance, given the complete lack of
toleration you display towards others.

Your statement is equivalent to the following: "What, you want money for
this software you wrote (or product you created)?  How dare you?"
