|Ahem. About 5 or six messages before this I composed a wonderful
|message ripping on Microsoft, and basically saying stuff we've all
|heard before. I then deleted it. Seeing this message, I see it was
|the right choice, but if you could all do me the favor of pretending
|you read that message, were stunned at my logic and in awe of my
|rhetoric, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I'll never be stunned by a Microsoft ripping post....
(I'd agree wholeheartedly, but wouldn't be stunned...)

:)

OK... STOP HITTING ME!
I'LL SHUT UP NOW!
