This is BS. You are basically going into a restaurant and say: "I don't 
think that lovely steak benefits from having a price tag. I do not agree 
with having to pay for this steak, and if I can help it, it'll be for 
free."

Think about it. Fabrice does a wonderful job. Guess who's paying him.

Hth,
