You still do not get it. The only thing Belkin's mistake (url redirect) has in common with Parental Control is that it happened to bring up a sign up page for Parental Control (it could have brought up the greatest thing since sliced bread and I still would have mentioned it). I was not trying to make parental control relevant to the conversation.
CONTRARY EVIDENCE SUPPLIED HERE: "BTW, the Parental Control Feature is fairly innovative"(See you made me quote myself again) ... BTW commonly used in forums and chats means "By the way" as in possibly not relevant, applicable, or remotely related to current subject.
Case closed counselor (hopefully, but I doubt it).
The fact that I agreed with 100% of the other posters is not relevant as 99% of them had never used a Belkin router before making their comments. My comments came from a position of truly understanding the nature and scope of the problem. I believed my comments added some well needed information that /. users might appreciate. I am sorry that you did not, but you can't please everyone.
Nonetheless, way to keep gripping. Seems our side rant should best be put to rest. So please let me sum up what we have learned in the aforementioned rant.
1. Belkin screwed the pooch on this one
2. It is almost a crime as great as the Holocaust (not really, just a bit of exaggerated comparison meant to grab your attention, much like redirecting urls)
3. Parental Control is not relevant to the discussion
4. BTW means By the way
5. Principal is the guy's office you tried to avoid in high school.
6. Understanding the principles of the matter is priceless.
7. My sarcasm about your mental strength was not a personal attack just as your sarcasm about Hitler science experiments was not true comparison.
