Fair enough, I'm not disputing it.  It's just a different fact
from the one quoted above where you said: "Unfortunately I'm
stuck in a mostly-Windoze shop."  This suggests that you have no
choice about where you work (which is difficult to believe
unless you're utterly hopeless at your occupation) and that you
consider it unfortunate that you're in this environment.  My
response was directed at those details, taken from your previous
article.

The point of this, and the reason I am returning to it, is that
you could have simply said: "I happen to work in a Microsoft
shop, so I need to be able to do XXX."  I would not have chosen
to comment on that.
