Well put, but IMO people should discuss it.

Large organizations are having a very difficult time keeping pace with
the people's needs.  Look at Sony BMG and the rootkit fiasco.  Or the
SCO garbage. Or the RIM scenario.  Or, or, or.  Even Governments are
having difficulty.

I feel sorry for the People who were unwittingly involved in AOL's
little experiment.

History says that it's never wise to infuriate the masses.  (With the
internet is a new development. ;-)
