OK so you go to the Pizza list and you find that Simon is boycotting 
PizzaPizza. So you say, "Oh, I wonder why Simon is boycotting PizzaPizza?" 
But wait there's a link, at the end of which will no doubt be the 
explanation for said boycott, let us follow it and be enlightened.

PizzaPizza - "A place that Simon is boycotting"

I guess that about sums it up! What more can be said. Simon knows what he 
is boycotting and that is enough, if it's good enough for Simon or in this 
case bad enough, it's bad enough for me. I must admit though my 
imagination does tend to run on when confronted with a vacuum ...

Eric there's a Perl program in here, sort of like the fortune program, it 
randomly gives you the name of a large multinational corporation and 
pairs it with a random reason for boycotting it. Nothing nearly as Zen as 
what Simon came up with, but think of the time it would save social 
activists everywhere ;-) and if it could also automagically fax out a 
press release annoucing the boycott, well ...
