They inferred it because those companies were left out of your category of the "last thing you'd want". Anything left out would be categorized as "not the last thing you'd want" when there are parallels in the omitted yet well known offerings.

That would assume that it was possible to rank them, which I made no statement about.

Anyway this discussion is starting to sound like Slashdot circa 1999...

You don't have to make a statement about ranking them when you said "the last thing you'd want". Figure of speech or not. It seems telling to the reader when discussing XR to leave them out, that's all. You could have just clarified and called it a day.

The fact that we're being so pedantic now instead of discussing our actual opinion is making me more certain that your purpose was not to have a discussion so I'll shutup now.

My initial point was a really that there are terrible privacy implications and poor track record of actually treating the customer well, as if that wasn't obvious.

As for the rest, I'm just pissed off with people throwing their words into my mouth. Oh there we go again.

Fair enough, let me know when you want to provide more opinions you don't want to discuss :)
