although I basically agree with Joe (how is that for once, Joe?) the $500
argument is weak, because hundreds or thousands of people may have
to spend $500, so you have to multiply here. Certainly, when it comes
to InfoCenter this holds. On the other hand supporting NS is not worth
it for other reasons.
