You talk like its a person - it's a damned service ... Plus my point was that the demise of Reader had nothing to do with the OP, and that its continued discussion in any post containing the letter G was pathetic, detracting from more interesting conversations we could and should be having - like the one about the possibilities of the new Drive API... I'm tired of the railroading and the assumption that a for-profit organization has some sacred duty to think about anything more than its bottom-line. That Google thinks beyond its bottom line quit often (Glass, Cars etc...) is to its credit - IMO that it does not do so all the time (Wave, Buzz, Video, Reader etc...) is NOT to its discredit.
