So having a MS (or, to speak the /. language, M$) insulting signature would be politically correct in this place? Because this ******seems to be the norm here******** and few pwople react, but my sigs seem to, for some reason, provoque moral panic in this place.... And BTW where is the insult on my sig? Is called sarcasm. Or are you telling me that there are holy things you can't joke about here? Is Linuzz teh Holy Word?
