This seems to be a general trend with you, belaboring a point that no one ever disagreed with, as a form of deniability against having to actually defend your insinuations.
Just to be totally clear:
You told us to beware, "you are the product, not the customer",
we told you "thanks, but we've known that since like forever, and Google is still our best buddy" because their business model is to give us what we want and charge us the data about that want,
you keep on telling it to us, belaboring the point,
and it ISN'T because you think Google is  , no matter how much that sounds like what you are insinuating, because you never said so straight out.
Right?

Take a look at number three. |
I see, so quoting someone else claiming I said something, means I must have said something. Sigh, some things just don't seem to change. Some people just seem to love the strawman argument, and just can't stand it when it's pointed out what they are doing. Your defense is that you imagined that is what I must have meant, ergo, that is what I meant? Well, I can't be responsible for your imagination, but I am certainly the only correct source for what I meant, no matter how much you pound the figurative table about it.
