Really? I think that the natural state of most people is to give their opinions, knowledgeable or otherwise, which we see freely all over the net. (Quora, anyone?). In fact, the less knowledgeable the holder, the more freely and vociferously those opinions tend to be provided.
And nobody here "sermonized." It was a simple
discussion. It's hardly secret that folks have strong feelings about DRM, (as in, your signature block, which
certainly broadcasts YOUR "sermonizing" about it--does that mean that
you're not very nice?), and, as I said: most of the posters--and those most helpful to her--certainly had every right to speak to the
other people who will come along and read the thread. Many posters here at MR don't even understand how DRM works. Having a perfectly civil (for a change) discussion about her particular situation was one of the more useful I've seen.
