Am I the only one who finds the very concept of companies who sell their product based on personal bias to be more than a little repugnant? C'mon, Dennis - even someone as notoriously thick-skinned as yourself should be able to see how incredibly unprofessional, to say nothing of purile, that last sentence must sound to readers of this mailing list. I may have extremely unflattering things to say about Microsoft from time to time, but they're still more than happy to sell me copies of Windows if I'm nonetheless forced to buy them, and I daresay that Bill (if he even cared) would find the concept of one of his detractors buying his product to be deliciously ironic, and probably some of the sweetest bucks of all. I hope that you'll reconsider that statement and possibly retract it. You're supposed to be a businessman, not the male incarnation of Za Za Gabor. Jordan
