I didn't start it. Someone - it may have been you - began touting the

like that - proposing Linux as better than fish. "I use Windows."
(get Linux!). "I need an AV program for XP." (get Linux). "I have a
flat!" (get Linux). "Isn't it a shame about famine in Sudan?" (get

My dog, too!" (get Linux).

Nonsense! You took a jocular suggestion (ever heard of emoticons?) as
an attack to the value of your MS stock. What a pathetic little
person!

I've heard of emoticons, but I've never used one. Emoticons are for
inarticulate ****ers.



Not if your "software" performs badly or not better than other
software that come with no invoice and no strangling user agreements.

Don't like me using Linux and other free software? Sue me.

I prefer you used Linux. As I said before, there is some validity to the
claim that Linux was developed to siphon off the malcontents into their own
little padded room so we normal folk wouldn't have to be bothered by them.
This scheme has not worked as well as hoped.


Oh, wait, the company you own stock from already tried that, did they
not?

Uh, no. You're thinking of Sun Microsystems. Perhaps you could build a
database to keep up with things like that.
