Don - I like the way you think.

However, I don't really think they're pimping for any of those
butthaid companies, I just think they're (in the words of Chris Rock)
"ignant"; they know nothing but Micro$crot.

Or as (apparently) Robert J. Hanlon put it; "Never attribute to malice
that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
