Is that a threat from me? No, I don't think so. You just said yourself that
you understood exactly what that sentence says.

Really? Well, wow. I wish I had a tenth of their cash. It'd make life much
easier.

As for not believing me... well. Not much I can do about that, is there.

If you really don't believe me, call 425 649 9800. Go into the employee
extension index. Enter my name using your phone. It's an easy thing to do.

I'm *not* affiliated with them. And I defend them because I see people like
*you* spreading all kinds of crap around that isn't warranted. Get them on
the things that they actually have done wrong -- not things that you've made
up. That is all that I ask.

Oh, that's rich.

Good for you.

Good for you.

Well, you can believe that I'm scum if you want - after all, that's your
opinion. (I personally believe that you are a schmuck who blames all of his
business problems on Microsoft when in reality, the real issue is a distinct
lack of acumen on your own part... I ask again... have you ported your
business over to another OS yet? Or are you still bemoaning that Microsoft
knocked OS/2 out of the arena instead of porting it to Linux or Solaris or
Novell Netware?)

As for me working for Microsoft, please continue in your delusion. I'd love
some of what you're smoking after you're done with it.

Good for you.
