online comix

Mark, were I not struggling to pay rent etc., not to mention get out from under massive medical bills, with only my small Social Security and smaller dwindling savings, I would gladly donate with no conditions whatsoever. And I didn't mean to start a piss-fight with you over this. But there exists an entire multi-million dollar industry based upon the purchase and reading of "online comix', which means the books to which I refer and not the daily strips you don't want to pay a penny to peruse. Entire companies, such as Comixology, are founded upon this digital service, and many of the major publishers (including Dark Horse) run their own digital purchase sites for "online comix". Thus my point, my ONLY point, was that your title may have been a bit misleading, as you did not refer to this nascent and profitable new industry, but rather to an entirely different, and in comparison, limited and marginal service.

In short, my aim was one of clarification only, and not one of any other motivation. I leave it to you to decide what your motivation was in taking it to a different level, as my intent was not to offend. If I did so, I am sorry.

Now I am out of here, and won't return. It really isn't worth fighting over.
