It's not "what if they go elsewhere" under that situation, it's "when".

This is gold. It's just a specific application of, "You shouldn't fight market forces, if you can help it."

Simply coming close to parody

parity

Though, this started me thinking on what "parody bits" would be.

Ugh. I swear it was "parity" in my head. I have no idea how I managed to mis-type that. Wow.

I keep looking back on past comments and finding stuff like that. I wonder if someone has come up with a homophone/typo mistake filter? Being able to turn that on for opponents one would like to discredit would be really insidious and evil. What if some evil genius at Google has come up with a hidden way to do this in Chrome? Would we ever know? Maybe not, if the frequency was kept low enough.

The number of times I screw up there/their or hear/here is infuriating. I know the goddamn difference, but these idiot fingers keep getting it wrong!

wccrawford could be correct. I have seen companies come close to parody...
