And, as many have great distain for apps that call home, it seems (to me) that a better system could be devised, like, uh, reasonable prices.

it's worth noting that LS is not bulletproof. BBEdit is a good example of an app that waltzes right around LS. (it likely is doing this by using some other network-authorized app as a proxy)


Thanks, V1. I really thought LS was bulletproof. And as for using proxies, I was/am ignorant of that capability as well.

Perhaps I should thank µS for being the proximate cause of my new found wisdom. Still, a pox on their house would distress me not.
