Can we have the word 'and' back please? Stop being lazy.

no it isn't. Unless you have a citation?

and has almost no side effects

Apart from the eye-watering stinging sensation of having salt water going around your already inflamed sinuses :-) Still, only lasts a couple of minutes.

However; when you have dark green stuff coming out of your nose and you coughing jello from deep inside your lungs, you might qualify for some good antibiotics

That's mucus. The rhinovirus irritates the sinuses, causing the discharge, then lives off the discharge. That's how it lives. That's not bacteria.

what kind of sinus infections are we talking about here? If it's the common cold, antibiotics won't do anything for you at all. It's a virus. I think I ONCE had a bacterial infection in my nose. In the form of a large spot in my nostril. Which I could put up with.

I bloody hope doctors near you aren't giving out antibiotics for viral infections. That's basic common sense. In fact, should probably be illegal, given the damage it's doing.

Which is why you should eat active yogurt cultures when you are on antibiotics ...

I saw a TV show a couple of years ago with a similar story along the lines of "active yoghurt cultures don't do much either". Just don't eat entirely meat.

The award is for the impact iTunes had on the music industry

precisely. Not music then.

I honestly can't name a single digital music store which existed before iTunes

I cannot name a single good song which got written because of itunes.

Like Steve Jobs and Apple or not ... but if you can't see that iTunes totally changed how a huge number of people get and access their music, it's probably because you refuse to.

Changing the way a car showroom looks doesn't involve contributing to cars.

What a crock. Did we expect any better from the music industry?

I think the key word there is "industry". That said, the music industry's contribution to music has only ever been negative.
