Not all states allow referendums. Right now, in Washington State, they
are arguing that the people who start refs. are causing budgetary
problems and want to legislate the referendum out of the state
consitution. Already we've had two big refs. that passed were
challenged in court and thrown out. So much for the will of the people.

I always presume anyone's intention when they communicate is to
communicate, and that all thoughts are rational thoughts. Not
necessarily reasonable, but they have to be rational, or they aren't
'thoughts', eh?

I did, yes. Now, you may feel free to attempt to refute it, though I
doubt you can, since you are (I know from experience) rather ignorant of
what "a monopoly" is.

No burden, no. I asserted; the support was coincident with the
assertion, regardless of how weak you may think it was. But then again,
you haven't refuted it at all, so I guess it wasn't very weak, eh?

The fact that the vast majority of consumer microcomputers in the early
1980s used MS-BASIC. I thought I said that already. Feel free to
provide something more convincing to the contrary, if you can. It
shouldn't be too hard, it's not like my claim is very convincing.
Still, simply denying that it is so is less convincing, despite the
discomfort that this causes you.

I said so and nobody has provided any evidence otherwise. So far, we're
dealing with reputation, and any poster on adm with any integrity will
tell you that my reputation is far and away superior to either of yours.
Not my fault.
