*yawn* this tack again? You're getting about as repetitive as Branden...

At least I don't have nearly as many negative contributions on my slate as
you... How many people have accused me of breaking their system in the
last year?

Which is more disruptive and worthy of aspersions of having a paymaster in
Redmond: one who does nothing but bitch and moan (and, I might add,
occasionally gets things right) or one who actively disrupts
hundreds of linux systems every week? Remeber that this started as a half
joking conspiracy theory implicating you in actively shanking lilo to push
people to grub. Perhaps Perry had it wrong: perhaps your ultimate goal
is NT bootloader. But if you wish, my present job is sort of due to
Redmond in a backhanded sort of way: you see, my Uni wants to get into
Linux in a big way because Redmond cut them off from the money teat... So
most of my local LUG is being offered jobs by said Uni.
