It was indeed Ralph Nader who began this list by organizing a public
debate of Microsoft's business practices. I signed on for information
regarding that 3 day forum and remained on what became the AM-INFO
(Appraising Microsoft-Information) list. We owe a great debt to his
organization for raising this debate to a level where the DOJ could
no longer ignore their duty. Unfortunately, the same Ralph Nader
chose to stick to his own political campaign, draining votes in an
election he knew he could not have a snow ball's chance in hell of
winning, and thus contributed to the selection of George Bush. Now he
denies any responsibility for George's rapid reversal of all past and 
present efforts to do the right thing with regard to consumers, the 
environment, the economy, war and peace, foreign and domestic affairs 
of any kind, you name it - George the Destroyer has undone peace and 
prosperity to maximise his handlers profits. And the DOJ/Microsoft 
'settlement' is just another example of the "integrity" these bastards
have "returned to the WhiteHouse". I still don't know why anyone not
directly benefitting from his Reverse-Robinhood policies (and that is
a MAXIMUM of 5% of the populace) would ever support George Bush, 
directly or indirectly.
 
I don't know if Mr. Nader has enough of his own integrity left to do
something positive in this case. But it sure wouldn't hurt for him to
try.
