[Am-info] Who is this fellow?

[Simon Cooke]

Gene, that was malicious.

Not that it's anyone's business WHAT the answer was, but you're now being
quite the ass, aren't you. Is character assasination a common technique you
use against people you disagree with?

The answer, by the way, was to point that person to a site containing a song
about a horny toad. Feeling stupid now, aren't you?

Ah yes... that was in response to a Mac user who persisted in posting ad
hominem attacks against me.

Interesting how you cut and paste completely out of context to server your
OWN interests, isn't it Gene?

If anyone's interested, that post was in direct reponse to another, entitled
"Why do we need XP when we have MacOS" by someone who claimed that Windows
should be got rid of because 'it's not unix based' and as such was 'odd'.

I responded asking "Why Mac OS X? Why Linux? Why FreeBSD? Why Solaris? Why
OS/2? Why Windows? Why QNX? Why Plan 9? Why HURD?"

No, I think you'll find that it was someone pretending to be Steve Ballmer
for the purposes of adroit juxtaposition.

That's okay Gene, please feel free to hide after doing what you did. After
all, there's no way that a coward like you could face having your actions
questioned, is there?
