I'm just saying that I lost about 30 minutes of my life to learn nothing
new, because I trust Helen when she writes "well worth the read". I will
probably do it next time she recommends something, I just wanted to know
what did she find valuable there... perhaps I missed something?

Besides, I'm anything but pro-microsoft. I develop mostly on Linux, and
even using it as desktop OS at home. (I'm writing this message on
Windows box at work). I migrated all my systems from M$SQL Server to
Firebird, use Mozilla for mail,web,news, and I'm an active member of
four open source projects.

So, my excuses if it didn't sound "nice". My English is not that good to
express emotions in subtle ways.
