Not supported by the facts in my prior posts. I said to avoid TTax. I
started this to clear up som misinformation you put out about Spybot
and it removing cdilla without your conrol. I also said that if you
use a product, TTax, WinXP, etc.. that uses spyware or activation
technology, you are accepting and supporting spyware.

That is not the way I like it. Never said it was. Your reading
comprehension problem is surfacing again. I blame you for whining
about things you have control over, and expecting Intuit to fix TTax
activation to your satisfaction this tax season. Not going to happen.

You didn't post that until after I had replied to you. Only someone
with poor reading skills could think I support Intuits activation
policy.

I never applauded Intuit. Don't blame "their customers", just you
.

That is not what your earlier messages said. You said you reactivated
repeatedly.

Your whining approach hasn't helped your case.

Then excercise your free return. Hurt Intuit in their pocket book.

No, I just hate whiners that can't keep their facts straight.
