You may not have appreciated the delivery, but the message is 100% spot on target. I for one, appreciate straight talk that communicates effectively and economically. I find no fault w/the original comment in any way. It must be difficult to be so delicate in such a vulgar time.

Absolutely. The comment was in fact right on target, but the quote from Tolkien brought up a most appropriate image in my mind: Darl McB as Grishnakh. :-) Now that works nicely.

Actually, Saruman and Wormtongue come to mind when one considers the "way with words" that the SCO execs McBride and Sonntag have. Anyway, I would still find some description of the inferiority of the SCO products of interest, occasionally.
