Dear Soundy:
I have noticed that whenever the PC issue comes up, you seem to
be right smack in the middle of it. Could you be bringing it up
repeatedly on purpose? Are you one of those types who likes to
stir the pot? Professional victim perhaps? Prove me wrong.
Stop spouting off about it. Fix your personal problems on your
own time.
To other members of the list. This guy is a baiter. For some
deep psychological reason, he wants to make people, even
unsuspecting technical writers, mad. Maybe if we stop
responding, he'll take his ball and go home.
