- Obviously, the greenhouse effect is specific to atmospheric pollution.
- Surely you don't think that's the only kind of pollution? Do you believe
- that noise is a form of pollution? If an airport were built next to your
- house, and jet planes were to fly over at low altitude every 5 minutes,
- wouldn't that affect your ability to function normally? What if a
- next-door neighbor interfered with your ability to receive radio and
- television broadcasts? Regardless of whether you think pollution is the
- right word for it, we all have a certain amount of responsibility not to
- interfere in the lives of other people if we can help it.
-
- What you said sounded like you couldn't care less what effect you had on
- others, as long as it didn't bother *you*.

- Me too. I was responding to your statement that you didn't care if it
- did.

- I think you'll find that Apple cares a GREAT DEAL about FCC
- certification of their products, and that FCC certification and a
- device's impact on the radio spectrum go hand-in-hand.
