What do you expect MR to do? I am confused.

Bob, he's complaining becuase I moved this thread to the front page.I did so because the original post was well written and the thread was fairly active.


@dirtylc
Do you want to know why I did not act upon your previous thread? It did not interest me, and among the staff I was your best bet for advocating your cause. Here is why I wasn't interested:

Your post was thinly written, and did not have any links to more info. It advocated a Kindle specific boycott on an issue that affects all formats. Had you called for other device owners to join the boycott, you probably would gotten more attention here. Furthermore, you were rather trollish in that thread.

And frankly, I would rather work on getting publishers to go DRM free. I don't buy ebooks that cost more than $8, so I am (inadvertently) participating in your boycott.
