    This whole argument, and any other like it, is totally bull and not
    worth getting into. There is *nothing* so important that nothing else
    is important, and nobody has the right to judge someone else's
    priorities. Gee, why are we fooling around with letters instead of
    going to poor parts of the world and working to supply these people with
    basics like food and shelter, if we're so concerned with "using our
    talents to do the most good"? Michael is using his talents as he can
    and as he sees fit, and that should be the end of it. Whether you agree
    or disagree with his results is another matter.
