It's really sad... Nintendo was handling this, and for the record, they are NOT at fault here. As GR is so fond of pointing out, if they don't flail around randomly, this wouldn't happen. On this we both agree. I only wanted Nintendo to do something simply because it would be nice, and they DID, because they do seem to care enough to try and put a stop to it regardless of fault. But, some people (and admittedly this is not the majority of people, but it's the exceptions that make the news, vocal minority and all that) seem to think that if ANYTHING bad happens to them, someone that isn't them has to be responsible for it. It's not your fault! It's that boy with the golden bat, HE did it! Sometimes things are THEIR OWN fault (and sometimes things aren't anyone's fault at all). Deal with it.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
