Well, Josh, thank you for your concern, but you do remember the
firestorm that happened a few years ago?  And several smaller fires
after that.  I really do find it odd that sophistry is honored more
than reality when it comes to certain obvious facts.  How many
reasonable people would say that Microsoft undercharges?  Not many,
but through sophistry, it was said.  And I didn't mention the
professor's name this time - but you did.  So who's pouring gasoline
on a smoldering fire?

Respectfully,

Lyle
