Centuries ago, Nostradamus foresaw a time when Mark S. Bilk would say:
>>While I think you are correct about Rex's grip on reality, trying to explain
>>this to Mark is a bit like trying to explain to the Devil that Charles
>>Manson is a bit antisocial.
>
>Robert Moir, Christopher Smith, and Steve Sheldon (who also
>wrote an article claiming that Rex Ballard is not believable) 
>are all totally biased pro-Microsoft propagandists, as can be 
>seen from examining their posts in DejaNews.
>
>The reason these three are desperately trying to convince 
>readers to ignore Ballard is that he provides more information 
>about the coercive, fraudulent, and destructive tactics that 
>Microsoft uses than anyone else posting here.  
>
>As to Ballard's reliability, every time I've seen his asser-
>tions questioned, he has successfully defended them by posting 
>lots of supportive evidence.  

Any time *I've* questioned them, he has responded with "Thanks for
helping to proof-read for me."
