Umm.... no. Bonnie wrote:
"I had seen the Lingo logo over the last several weeks, over and over, and
it
reminded me of something else I had seen, but I couldn't recall exactly what
that other thing was. Today I discovered what it was and compared the two. I
see an uncanny resemblance."
So this is not "a blatant example of MS running roughshod," etc., etc.
Bonnie was merely commenting on the resemblance and asking for our opinion.
And despite the initials, "Bonnie Granat" is not a pseudonym for "Bill
Gates."
