I can only assume some people did not read 
most or all of my recent posts.

I want us to all BOYCOTT U.S. TurboTax 2002, 
Canadian QuickTax 2001 and 2002, and other 
products with anything like C-Dilla. I also 
want us all to boycott Canada's QuickBooks
due to its bundled tax tables updates and 
high base price, as well as the license
that lets Intuit disable access to payroll 
data.

These prominent red links are on my 
http://blocktax.com/ home page:

   Intuit Canada Boycott

I posted my comments to all relevant newsgroups
& emailed many publications. Did anyone else do
more or protest about more Intuit products? 

I very much expect us to win more of this fight 
with Intuit than we have already won. What is 
happening now is exactly what happened when 
we fought about the separate QB2000 tax table 
charges for each company using QB, as opposed 
to each copy of QB. At first we got nothing, 
but Intuit backed off then and now before it 
really mattered. Then we got still more with 
the free download of tax tables in QB 2001 and 
later. Now we should accept nothing less than
the complete removal of C-Dilla et all before
resuming purchases.

Of course, we also are fighting a company that
screws up less than anyone I know and actively
plans to be driven by user input. Therefore,
this will not really be a fight.

Intuit once again will do what it must to fix
this to our reasonable satisfaction, because
any other result would be very bad for them and
its users immediately and in the long term.
