This whole idea of a boycott is... well... unrealistic at best. It flat
out has no chance of doing anything except waste bandwidth discussing it.
If a mass advertiser gets 1 or 2 % hits, they're doing great. If there
were a boycott, I doubt it will be 99.9%. Ergo it can't work.
Now, if there were a boycott of C&S' Internet Service Provider, that might
have an effect... but I'm clearly NOT suggesting such a thing.
