I've been following this thread all along, and this post is the one I
keep thinking of. This accurately describes my feelings too.

I also would like to note, it hasn't just been Canonical who uses
"approval" as a mechanism for giving gifts, Prentice Hall used it as
the criteria for who they would send copies of the Official Ubuntu
