It becomes particularly pathetic when people argue about ownership of
stuff which no longer have any value.

So the next time you're out hiking somewhere, and you want to pick up
a stick or a stone -- stop!  Do you really have the right to steal
stuff that's not yours?  Shouldn't you ask the landowner for permission
before you pick it up?  Yes, that stick or stone is worthless, but
as we've seen so many times in this newsgroup, ownership issues are
just as important for worthless items -- it's the PRINCIPLE which counts
to some, not the value of the items....
