But it's *free* damnit! You're getting something of fairly high quality for
*nothing*. You have two choices:

(1) accept it on *whatever* terms the extremely generous people who made this
wonderful state of affairs possible desire.

(2) be part of the solution, not the problem.

(3) Go buy something better. (there isn't anything better you can buy in
many cases, but that's your problem. If you pay someone enough I'm sure
they'll make something for you.)

Defending whiners are stupid. Someone is giving out free porsches, and
they complain the paint on theirs is nicked, and they deserve a new one.
Get a life.
