I don't feel that it's me being intentionally dense here because, again, you've concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

App is app. Other app is other app.

In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.

Appreciate the heads up on session.

Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you've strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.

Most people who want it back don't need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.

Here's the simple facts:

SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.

As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.

It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.

And it feels so good! I hated how breaking in to the mobi files wrecked the formatting.

It's understandable that they wouldn't know much about other countries' history. Sad.. but I get it. Public education is slipping worldwide.

What's bothered me about discussion online for the last 10-15ish years (and it gets worse every year) is that people feel the urgent need to opine strongly on shit they don't understand - and that bluntly pointing that out is somehow frowned upon.

I long for the days when it was kosher for everyone to just tell them to shut the fuck up until they were ashamed enough to delete or recant.

Anyway.. Buongiorno!

Sys admins are already worked to death, so anything that can be done to simplify makes perfect sense.

Appreciate the correction! I haven't dealt with Amazon for e-books since I got my first Kobo reader 5-6 years ago, so I'm out of the loop.

Yep. I live in one of the "post salary or GTFO" states, and lead with that. Anyone who can't respond with a straight answer isn't worth dealing with and is told why.

I go through them every couple of days and have a text file with canned responses.
