Actually it was a "her", at my residence, and I'm not a misogynist.  
It was 6 years ago.

As I said off-list to a good joking reply about it -- that perhaps *I* 
caused the problem, back then, that we have now:

"Sigh.  If I only knew then what I know now I guess I could've 
 been more articulate, but hey, some people just *know* that 
 Microsoft is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

"At least here in Massachusetts, AG Tom Reilly knows better.
 He's my local vocal hero now."

Yeah,  I should've asked her then if she owned MS stock!
