i guess it's annoying in the way that the system obscures all the relations that go into creating something. people sit there in wonder about this free whee application -- like facebook -- which, as Jordy says, provides you with this kewl tewl. I mean, not one of these people who tout this would want to work for free, but when they hear that there might be advertising involved or marketing research going on. oh. mi. lard! the horror!

Gotcha.
You're talking about those Net purists who think the cyber lights will auto-magically stay on. And not only stay on, but become brighter and more colorful through the wonder of the 'digital commons' (aka, unicorns).
You're right, they're barmy.
