What? Someone hates advertising and especially with their car. Absolutely reasonable position to take. I ask them how far they go with that? Reasonable to go absolutely hardcore and get rid of /all/ of it. Reasonable to say that l

Yeah look in my view it is possible, I'm a long way from being infallible. Maybe I misread and took a pretty different thrust the second time somehow? No way for me to know now. Anyway hence the request to @dang for a pretty obvious fe

This would be a deeply important change you'd provoke. Much greater incentive to absolutely silent rejection. You know nothing you can't sue.

It's not editorialising to clearly state what a thing is. You could editorialise and say "unjustfied" or "long overdue" or "uninteresting" but the FACT of the thing is that it is a massive price rise with

The title is factually accurate and summarises why the pricing page is interesting today. You can feel however you like about the massive price increases but they exist and don't care how you feel about them.

You maintain it as best you can. Many of the licenses require attribution. Sometimes things are announced and so on. Can it be definitive and complete? Obviously not. Could it be useful even so?

Right and not knowing detailed expertise is fine. I mean core competence of giving advice to the minister "if you do this, then that" and it not being idiotic. I can't imagine the public service advice to Blair, Brown, Camero
