I know this is a bit too late to be posting so I doubt anyone will ever see this post, but that story was very moving and I'm extremely surprised that it wasn't moderated to the top.
This is the reason I think there should be Anonymous Cowards, not so people can post crap, but so people can tell personal things without fear of consequences.
God(or whoever) bless Freedom of Speech, the good sure outweighs the bad.
It's great that people have made money, but the first people in a pyramid scheme make money too. People made money before the Great Depression too. I am just saying that I don't understand why the stock price has doubled since the beginning of the trial. Is MS really twice as valuable? Aren't any of these people scared at what will happen if(when?) the DOJ wins?
Maybe Oracle could buy it, or everyone at/. could contribute some cash and/. could collectively own it. Cool. I somehow doubt this was one of MS' concessions during bargaining... maybe the settlement isn't going so hot. Time for that stock price to drop.
Why is this scored -1? What's offensive or off-topic about this. The people at this site seem a bit paranoid, but maybe not if you're gonna moderate a post like that.

Did he really say he was a "pathetic looser"? Or did Janice mentally change loser to spell it like a geek would?

Weren't there 200 something comments before? Where'd they all go? Was I just imagining that?

Does anyone else find it ironic that with the new moderator stuff, the first post now becomes the last?(at least the way my prefs are set)
