Frankly, I haven't seen anyone running around in circles, except for one
fellow who'd indulged in some illegal chemical abuse, on fire or not, nor
have I seen anyone's head explode since the war. Perhaps a conclusion could
be drawn about the lax attitude people have toward recreational use of
chemicals . . . I recognize that a significant number of recreational
substance abusers write code for a living.

What amazes me still are the people who look out into
the streets of real
world MS users and see people running wildly in circles on fire with
exploding heads, then declare that MS isn't so bad. Failure to understand
how and why MS has the market share that they do is also rather sad. What
comes to mind is the poor baby monkey given a surrogate mother made of
wire
mesh that delivers strong electric shocks, yet the
baby still clings to
it.
I am sure it will be looked back on as a curious point
in history.
