Billy's "todo" list by Kadmos · 2005-01-31 23:28 · Score: 5, Interesting

I wonder if Billy would ever tell us something isn't a "top priority"? I can just imagine it:
"Yeah, stability, we aren't really keen on that right at the moment, actually that's way down the list."

Thanks Bill, but with an inbox full of virus I get the feeling your "top priority" isn't as "top" as we would like.
