Indeed. Tho I decided to stop worrying about that
long ago. It is better to focus on your own activity.
I wish I could impose techno-totalitarianism and make
the entire human race use world-class software with
all the right settings. But I can't so there is no
point being frustrated there. So you just continue
doing your tables and figures and don't worry about
your street cred when they eventually end up in
clients that virtually do a massacre on them...
