Monopolizing the conversation



  Cnet just published a terrific opinion piece by Margie Wylie. Well worth 
  a look.

  Sample:
  
  Monopolizing the conversation 
  November 26, 1997 
  
  Microsoft earlier this month publicly chastised Ralph Nader for creating 
  a "witch hunt atmosphere" with an "ambush" disguised as a conference in 
  Washington, D.C. 
  
  Boo-hoo. Poor Microsoft.
  
  Sure, Nader portrayed a slanted view of the company and its practices. 
  Still, it's hard to whip up a lot of sympathy for a company that's been 
  monopolizing the conversation in the computer industry so thoroughly and 
  for so long when it's finally on the receiving end.
