How intolerant, intransigeant and bigoted of you.

If the flakey MS format is as important to you as all that, then you
should restrict yourself to using *only* MS products; and keep well away
from Linux advocacy lists.

Otherwise your blood pressure is going to suffer horribly, isn't it --
as you realise you're the odd-one out among the informed majority?
