I can confirm this. But this motherhood statement is just one of
a whole nest of them that Travis gets off the shelf for these
discussions. Here is another: that if using it makes money, that
is ok. And another: if using it does not make money, the free
market will come riding to the rescue of us all and kill the sob
thing dead and it will be replaced by competitors...

It is terrible, I have a whole hard disk full of Travis's
collection (not his fault, I just hoard and collect stuff...)
