"You will never convince me that illegal downloads are increasing sales, in fact, I know that there are former theater patrons who now illegally download first run movies at home and never spend a dime."
So you are protecting your freetarded friends from prosecution by failing to turn them in?

I also have observed (as mentioned elsewhere) that the

There are other people to think of besides just the children.
I'd say middle of the road. Also don't ask how you did, just post and leave it. If you get your comment hidden like prisoner 201 did last week you know you did good.
I think it is reasonable to expect a book that is published to be reasonably free from basic grammatical errors. A book that is not, reflects poorly on both the author and publisher.
