RE: Another paranoid theory about M$...?

Rick,

Ya, ya, and again, I can't agree more...  But, as I just posted, the
interview was fascinating...!  (Almost didn't make it past the first
paragraph, either, but was glad I did.)

You might find the "that" link an interesting conspiracy theory.

| existance, and have him advise our government on cyber-security.

I think I'm a fair bit less paranoid that the average person, so I dunno...
Wouldn't surprise me, though.
