Ah well, welcome back anyway. No doubt we'll have lots of fun, just like in
the old days.
What's wrong with erik.funkenbu...@hotmail.com? You /are/ kinda, let's put
it mildly, Microsoft-subservient, now aren't you?
That would be sort of not very nice, I agree.
I haven't the foggiest. Prank? A bit of pestering, perhaps?

While it is getting more and more rare, it does still happen. Although
these days it's usually not so much of a "you don't run IE, now fuck off"
sort of message as much as it is some exotic requirement like silverlight.
Even all the pointless Flash doesn't serve as much of a barrier for IE
browsers.

I see, so pointing out how your "linux advocacy" (of which the majority is
anti-ms rhetoric) is untrue is considered offtopic.
You and Karl Rove have a lot in common. You can't stand to be held
accountable for what you say. That's the sign of a morally corrupt
individual.

I would not justify such behavior. However, since your
dispute is with Mister Culley, I'd suggest you discuss it
with him, Google GMail, or the appropriate authorities.
