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

In mho..
People are simply way too sensitive. I like to think of the internet as the Wild West
in a way. People say whatever they want, and it's up to us to realize that we have
every right to disagree, but *no* right to censor the views of others.
In fact, I actually enjoy this freewheeling

I've followed Eugenia's writing for some time. *She* was often
considered a zealot when her husband was working for Be... but I would
also consider her a "fighter of the good fight". So I am curious; what
would be the "proper" way to deal with the Microsoft "issue"?
