Welcome back. I hope you learned your lesson.

You obviously don't, but people with higher principles than their own selfish desires

IOW, buy inferior products because you don't like the competition. You are exactly like those who don't buy Microsoft because they don't like the company. I admit I do let such things influence my buying habits sometimes, but I don't dislike Microsoft or Adobe enough for their horrid actions to keep me from buying. Sofware is too important to me, so you have to do a lot to keep me from buying the best software

Others lack such principles and are more than eager to send their money to foreign countries to buy cars, computers,

You do realize that almost all computer parts are made by foreigners, right? About the only thing we make a lot here are chips, although both Intel and AMD do have massive foreign fabrication operations.

or download some foreign clone software for free instead of buying the American original

Again, you say this to someone typing on a Mac, and whose Linux usage is a small percentage of his overall personal computer use. As I've said, Linux has never even been my primary OS. Even if your claims were valid, they still don't apply to me.

BTW, Linux: US-managed and mostly US-written. Windows Vista: US-managed with many parts written in foreign countries.

buy inferior products because you don't like the competition

No, avoid leftists that want to replace businesses with a software tax. Avoid foreign clones of our already existing and better products. Avoid giving free technology to foreign governments. Avoid supporting foreign criminals who hack and crack our intellectual property. All of which you have supported on this site, including with lies purposefully made up with the intent to deceive. That is the record, clear as day. You're much worse than any names I have called you LOL.
