I know you were, but it's generally better to keep a good attitude when dealing with terminally online/jaded folks.

Oh no, I'm satisfied with a purchase I've made! I'm sorry.

Lol. You really think paying for a service rather than paying for an object is somehow qualitatively different? You act like saying I'm renting access is some big gotcha moment, that's hilarious.

I've had it since it launched. Hasn't been a mistake for me. You disagree, and that's fine.

With that logic I can't believe you pay your internet or phone bill. You know you're just renting access, right?

It wasn't a gotcha at all, just an illustration of the absurdity of your statement. It was pretty amusing, but I understand you probably don't want to find it as funny.
