I was struck by two things about this letter. It was written by a proclaimed "Editor in Chief" and used the most atrocious grammar and spelling I have seen in a while. I almost wonder if they didn't get hacked. I know 7th graders that write better. A lot better.
The argument is so out of touch with reality that it defies explanation. I find it hard to believe that anyone in the potential user group of blackbox would find the M$ or Micro$oft convention unprofessional, let alone offensive. It is such a classic haxor a+4 than one has to laugh.laugh.laugh. What would truly be unprofessional would be the use of the word "MicroSoft" spelled correctly. Why? Because it would show plainly and clearly that the writer did not know their audience. The change to Cygwin is correct IMHO; therefore let me state for the record that this is yet more proof, that given time, 1e+4 monkies beating on typewriters would indeed be capable of writing Hamlet, backwards. Even if only by accident. JIC (hacker metaphor) --Brigham "Brig" Young --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In mho.. > > People are simply way too sensitive.
