Of course, were that true, "most others" would be utterly unable to read
or respond...  What kind of newsreader do you have?  None I've ever
heard of or read about have that feature, but I'm not in the industry.
Say what you want about Bill Gates, but any going concern that would
configure their software to be totally incompatible with a Microsoft
product, bad as it is, is not exactly high on the list of survivable
concerns...

I'll let you read the relevant material:

Suffice it to say there is a significant difference between the events
you talk of (FSC and SCOTUS).  During the FSC, the recount
went forward, thus, although 3 calendar weeks went by, no time
was lost vis a vis the recount.  Part of the SCOTUS decision was
to stop the legal recount.

But, it was all OK because 5 guys voted your way...

To the extent that what the SCOTUS says is, by definition, true,
George Bush "won" the election (by a 5 to 4 count).
However, I will laugh out loud the next time a Republican or
a conservative or a neo-con protests any future SCOTUS decision.
I hope it happens with something you care deeply about,
personally.

Of course, it would take many, many such events to equal the
removal of the voting privilege of an entire state, and the harm
done by the SCOTUS to all courts in this country, especially
the SCOTUS.

Enjoy.
