No, Bob, not harsh at all. I don't see much judgement being passed, really. There is only slight and mostly 
implied chacterization of Apple's obvious marketring strategy. I'm not going to flame you, but your apologia 
strikes me as being almost irrelevant to the issue of directing traffic in a gratuitous fashion through 
Apple's various money-making apparatus. Not always convenient for the consumer, but certainly convenient for 
Apple.
