As somebody with TS, I honestly can't figure out what connection that post would have with the condition... now if you'd have said that about my original post I would have thought you psychic.

(edit: if you're referring to the usage of the word "crap", most people with TS don't cuss... that's a very rare symptom, called coprolalia)

I thought about it some more after I posted and I think it had to do with the way the thread was mostly celebratory (birthday cake, yum ) and JonB just came out of the blue and hit on the Kindle store; for me, it was jarring.

I don't know much about TS except for what I've seen portrayed in movies (which I watch very little of) so I hope I didn't offend you.

(his use of the word "crappy" didn't really register; I use the words "crap"/"crappy" all the time to refer to stuff I consider garbage/nonsense and I usually have to remind myself afterwards that it's considered a cuss word by some )

Btw, your experience with the Kindle closely mirrors mine, though I'm almost a year and a half into Kindle usage now
