    i'm sure the world is full of perfectly personable whores who, for the
    most part, are normal people, have a place to live, have nice "toys", are
    fun to be around, throw barbecues on the weekends for their friends, etc.

    despite your nonsensical accusations above, i in no way "viciously
    attacked" mr. sharp. i simply pointed out what was painfully obvious to
    anyone, even those who had never met mr. sharp -- that is, that he is
    clearly willing to say whatever it takes to make a living, even if it
    involves completely contradicting what he said in his previous business
    lifetime.

    in short, he's a whore. what's the problem here?

    rday

    p.s. and, also despite the idiocy you wrote above, i never attacked, in
    general, "people that work for Microsoft." i never made any reference to
    them. nice try at a red herring, though.
