    Did you know your name means "beater" or "hitter" in German?

    That being the case, have you stopped schlagering your wife?

    Ahh, it's so confusing!
    Recently, John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are
    actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no
    explanation and provided no data for this claim.
    Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men.
    Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns four mansions, all
    worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old
    barn
    brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).
    Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that sound
    right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a
    way
    to avoid paying his own.

      I see you have the left's mind control meme down pat. Was it difficult for you to be convinced? Probably not which means others can be influenced too. Please continue to repeat your message often and in places where it is off-topic without any references to back up your claims.

      The airline industry lowered their prices.. and their revenues went up. Analysts threw their hands up.

      Common sense tells people that if your product (taxes) is cheaper (tax cut) more people will use your product (pay taxes) and therefore you'll get more revenue ( more taxes paid). Explanation wouldn't help Kerry.. it wouldn't end up being as negative as he's trying to make it out to be.

    In this situation keeping your options open does seem like a reasonable idea to me.

    Once again, the adopters do not know these options exist nor do they likely care. If they do care they can go get the RPMs themselves, at this point they are in "expert-mode", probably where they want to be anyway.

    Too many options will drive these people back to Windows. Once again, the receptionist at FooBar corp does not care about the relative merits of Gaim vs Kopete...stop projecting Slashdot gabfests onto the enterprise world.
