Default Is USA on vacation?

I wonder if USA is on vacation. I do not appear to have received my quota of spam messages in the last 48 hours. Have all spammers gone on strike?

Yes I don't. Nobody makes as much as your pimp; are you willing to work for me?. Did you know that there are only 6,000 girls working on London Streets servicing about 12m people. So there will always be demand for sex as long as there are virile men around (no such gurantee for Microsoft products). I can only recommend you to continue serving your master so that he can achieve that top spot.

The days of chivalry are over; Microsoft rules the world.! They hav tart like you working for nothing!

Thank you for that note - it made my day.

It never ceases to amaze me how much vitriol people reserve for an inanimate
object such as a corporation nor how low they will stoop to insult a perfect
stranger. My response to you was a humorous one - yours was pure,
unadulterated insults.

I hope you have a nice day and bask in the glow you must feel from childish
name calling. I am very happy you are NOT an acquaintance.

inanimate
object such as a corporation nor how low they will stoop to insult a
perfect
stranger. My response to you was a humorous one - yours was pure,
unadulterated insults.


All your response did was enable a dysfunctional game for two to play.

Your response was humorous? Well, it went over like a lead balloon,
like deciding to pat an angrily barking dog on the head has a reasonable
chance of pacifying the dog rather than getting your hand bitten.

Your response baited him as could well be expected and now you
want to pretend to be the victim. And I am quite surprised that the
corporate Microsoft entity which is composed of human beings making
judgments failed to produce guidelines about ignoring John.Doe posts
instead of fueling the fire with your supposedly "humorous" gibe.

This is not the first time I've seen you choose to defend the faith against
troll attacks. It is considered codependent to engage in such behavior.
Your response was either a lie or you are far out of touch with reality.

It annoyed me to see you claim your subtle retaliation was justified
and "above" his tactics. You poked him to see him squeal. Since when
does a corporate entity not follow instructions made by human
authority which have moral/living consequences for an entire culture?

You attempted to represent MS as an "inanimate object" which is
not responsible for its decisions, and that John.Doe was directing
his animosity towards such an inanimate object, when in fact he wrote:
"I do not beieve in enriching rich jerks!" which is a personal perspective.

I might condemn the Alcohol Industry for promoting alcohol to teenagers
which led to Mothers Against Drunk Driving just because I may not know
the names of the individuals involved who decided to target their
advertising.
I may also want to condemn the Tobacco Industry for tempting people to
smoke when the directors knew that it would cause cancer. Because
corporations enclose those industries does not make the corporation
innocent because it does not have a personal identity since its polices are
determined by humans who have faces and names.

So there is nothing wrong with using a corporation name as a shortcut to
meaning the people who are responsible, though I may not know their names.
Your post twisted this legitimate choice.

John.Doe certainly appears to be a woman hater. I see nothing wrong with
your rejecting such a view. But his view and your response to it don't
belong on this forum. As an MVP, you are not above setting a standard
on this forum, but I believe should demonstrate a policy of non-response
to trolls. You do the same thing on other occasions. The degree that my
post is off-topic and cluttering up this newsgroup has been encouraged
by your example. I think as a representative of Microsoft you should act
with professionalism and keep your personal issues out of your responses.

Incidentally, I am not an MS basher. I think computer progress would
be at least eight years lagging in its appearance to the home user if
Microsoft hadn't propelled computer usability and hardware advancement.

I don't want to read your crap any more than John.Doe's crap,
and if you think my post is crap, it was toppled by your dominoe.




I hope you have a nice day and bask in the glow you must feel from
childish
name calling. I am very happy you are NOT an acquaintance.

Stephen, you are as much of a lamer as John, I haven't seen you offering any
support here, just crocodiles tears for poor benighted John. Are you sure
the two of you aren't brothers?
