pinging for Microsoft interest maybe. . . not really Windows.

EVERYTHING is Bill Gates's fault.

And, if I hadn't read the article, I'd have quipped "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?"

...but the reality is lamentably worse.

Yeah, I saw this a day or so ago in The Register, thought about posting/pinging it, and then decided against it because it's not only not Windows related, it's only incidentally Microsoft related. IMO the real underlying story is about the difficulty of moderating (for both legal and moral purposes) a facility that anybody can post anything to. It's a very difficult position for the company and the employees, and it touches on 1stA issues as well.

Thank you for posting the thread; I think I'll defer on pinging the Windows list, though.

Hope you're feeling better and recovering. Prayers up.
