    - sure, but how many people know that? and, a few people said those pictures were old, did they know that 5 phones ago? -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:30 9
      - if you're going to use a tool, doesn't it behoove you to learn how to use it in the most responsible manner? -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 08:31 8

        oh, i guess i am a realist who understands that not every person understands in technical detail everything their phone does. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 08:32 4
