For values of "Chuckles" equal to "doesn't get it"

there are 924 registered users here
almost all of them are likely Linux and/or Mac users
when they have a choice anyway

what would the value to MS of having a shill here be?

and, in general, don't you think that pointless name-calling
adds nothing to a discussion

Chuckling my cheeks off.

My nether ones, that is -- I'm laughing my arse off at this idiocy:

what would the value to MS of having a shill here be?

You know, I really can't see that either. So, what the fuck ARE you doing here?

(Can it really be JUST .sig-spamming that silly little radio thing?)

and, in general, don't you think that pointless name-calling adds nothing to a discussion

Of course, exactly my point! (So what's with the silly "Chuckles" crap, Dear?)

My pointing out what you are, OTOH, isn't pointless at all: At long last, it seems I've been able to raise the general awareness of our fellow posters here. And knowing whom you're dealing with, that can never be a bad thing, wouldn't you say?

Chuckles to you,
