   "consumers"This is, perhaps, a little nit-picky but important item:
   
   <rant>
   
   I resent being called (and what's more, assumed to be) a "consumer". I have no desire to be a consumer, one who consumes (should we say, "devours"). I think this is more than just semantics in the pejorative sense. Someone who uses a good or service need not be a consumer. A customer, yes, would be a better term.

   So, RC...You're saying you don't eat?  Or use any other products that involve the use of resources or energy, such as, you know, clothes?  I'm kind of curious as to how you typed that post, if you don't own a computer or use electricity.
   Of course, if you can survive without food, I suppose psychokinetic use of the Internet isn't too much of a leap...
   Just saying.
