Moody on Anti-Microsoft Flame

Moody has a piece that an anonymous reader submitted on the sorts of email he gets about Microsoft. The reader who submitted this questioned it, but I get CC'd on tons of these things and don't doubt it for a second. People hate Microsoft with a passion, and are making themselves look like raving lunatics by writing this sort of email. Think before you send these messages! Yeah, Microsoft does a lot of naughty things. Yeah, we'd love to see them crushed into tiny pieces. But insulting anyone who says anything good about Microsoft makes you look stupid, not Microsoft look bad. Read the Linux Advocacy HOWTO at least before you send mail like this. Believe me, it'll be worth your time. If you follow it, you look intelligent, if not, you look like a loon.
