I’m beginning to think pedantry is an incurable disease here at Boing Boing comment threads nowadays. Now I guess you’d like to have a lengthy, trite semantic argument over the usage of the word “find” and take over this thread instead of this perhaps breaking into a discussion of the lawyer’s opinion on spying, etc. and all the greater implications of this? What a bore.
