   Used that to look up "Condescending FOSS Asshole": it popped up with   
   your photo, home address and net worth (sorry about that net worth!).   
      
   Because the point wasn't that it was hard, but that it was much less   
   effort for a FOSS advocate who already had the software installed.  Plus   
   even if it was harder, an advocate has a stronger motivation to try.

   Even less of an effort, which sets back your counterpoint even more so.

   Nah, that doesn't pass the Occam's Razor sniff test, since they screamed   
   & whined so much and even despite me even offering a cash reward.  Since   
   the App did succeed once someone finally got off their lazy ass to try,   
   the direct answer is that COLA's advocates are almost exclusively just a   
   bunch of loudmouthed whining lazy bums.
