Hi, MichKa et al.
I certainly didn't intend to suggest that it's OK to rob someone (or
something) if you believe they (or it) has robbed others. My statement was
predicated on the erroneous assumption that you, MichKa, were asserting that
Microsoft has not robbed anyone; and I just wanted to point out that there's
room for discussion of such an assertion ;^)
I'm sorry I misunderstood what you meant by "we" - but I think it wasn't
very clear! (A distressingly common problem in e-mail...)
Cheers

No, I mean "we" as in we, the members of the human race on this spaceshhip
Earth. WE behave appropriately as that as what a good person does. Is "we"
act badly, then "we" should be ashamed and keep it to ourselves.

I am. So I guess you so not need to be surprised....

As the queen mother once said, "we are not amused."
It is in bad taste to claim that we may rob someone else who we believe has
robbed others, is it not?
In any case, this has nothing to do with the conversation here. I call upon
Sarasvati to remind the participants of the purposes of this forum? Unless
it has suddenlyu become an extension to the fedearl court system in the US?
