Dam! it
I really liked your comment but completely misconstrued what you meant by steal.
I thought that you were expanding on the sales sites, in a more political way.

AIRI, there were three items in the list, and only one co-ordinating conjunction, meaning that the three items were independent.
[jumps in the Tardis]
Here it is:
"It's only people who want to advertise, sell, or steal who want the more complicated stuff."
The punctuation alone makes the meaning purdy damned clear.
Compare:
-- people who want to advertise, or sell or steal
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

well, that punctuation isn't valid in my language so, before your explanation, the two phrases had the same meaning for me =p
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

Dang, can't remember the comedy pair who started "Who's on first!". but I thought of it because I wanted to leave out the first word on "Dr Who said that?" (It's either him, a sidekick, or a thief that would jump in a Tardis.) Well, I guess you can leave out the last because on that series, thieves never say anything sensible.
I agree that the statement reads like 3 separate things, but I'd also include the computer's "or" definition to make it possible the same person wants to do all three.

If you look at it, the Camel is exceptionally well designed for its habitat. ("Well designed" is not something usually associated with committee designs)
It can easily live in environments that would kill a horse. (And most other mammals.)
Quite efficiently expresses it's contempt for humans.(A very sensible attitude for a human from a non-human's perspective.) Well... we did have a horse at one time that matched the camel in that area.
Can spit huge distances, usually at a human.
There's more, but I forgot it. (I'm only human)

That's a statue of some troops not a committee.

That is definitely a Town Centre.

I've always believed it's a stupid name for a search engine. It reminds me of that irritating twerp of an insurance salesman in Groundhog Day. He's the wally that appears when the weatherman, Bill Murray, keeps stepping off the kerb into the icy puddle. An appropriate name then for Microsoft's offering.
