LOL! WGA as a critical update is ethical? Get real!
Of course it isn't ethical.
I can't believe I missed this thread. I spent the day trying to solve a
different problem, and it got right by me.
Leythos, Alias helps people all the time, and empathy helps a lot when
one can't do anything else--which in the case of WGA, no one can.
Alias, I was reading something the other day about Gandhi--an essay by a
man who, at first, did not really understand Gandhi. It's here, and it
explains why all the argument in the world is never going to resolve
this particular conflict:

I put the relevant part at the bottom of this post (after my sig) so you
won't have to read the whole thing.
The other way of looking it it is what Chip Delaney said. You've got
rupture. Different maps. Or, put another way, yelling won't make the
English speaker understand Spanish any better.
Kurt, where in the heck have you been?

Excerpt from link:
"Probably most of you who’ve worked with cameras know about the kind of
filter I mean. The filter fits over the camera lens and blocks out
portions of the light—usually certain colors—and lets the remainder pass
through to the lens. In effect, the filter selects the portion of light
that the camera will “see.”
Each of us too sees the world through our own “filter”—a filter made up
of our assumptions, our motivations, and the categories we use to sort
out and organize our experience. This filter determines how we see the
world.
When we come across something that doesn’t match our assumptions,
motivations, and categories, our filter blocks it out. It’s not that we
choose to reject it. Consciously, we don’t even perceive it. Or else we
perceive it in a partial, distorted form."
