Apologies to Mike, Arune, Steve and the rest of the plug list.

I thought I was making light of the fact that someone (I forget who)
was accusing Microsoft's marketing department of the same kind of
religious zealotry that Mike has identified within the linux community.

I read that post as being ever-so-slightly accusatory towards Mike
(he did in fact respond that he's not the Microsoft Marketing department).

I didn't think that a McCarthy-style defense to remind everyone that
Mike is most certainly not a Microsoft puppet would be considered bad taste.

Again, apologies to anyone I have offended.

Z.
