Yes, because you just dug yourself a hole to China.
And yes, I'm being a total asshole right now.

Because it really pisses me off when you make statements like you did
-- from post #1.
Because it lead RIGHT INTO THIS *CRAP*:

  "And that's one of the primary things limiting Linux on the desktop IME."

Again, I would totally respect you if you would have just said, "hey,
people pay me to do this."  You've gotta eat.  I *NEVER* would "guilt"
you.  In fact, your problem is that *YOU* have some overriding reason
to "explain yourself."

And that's why we get statements like ...

  "And that's one of the primary things limiting Linux on the desktop IME."

You are willing to pay Microsoft, Scalix or someone else for a
platform-limited, data-closed, vendor lock-in solution, then turn
around and *BLAME* the Linux community for not pulling you out of the
hole?

Pisses me off.  I'm really tired of this attitude.  You displayed it
from post #1, as did select others.  And it gets really, really old.
And you took it to the *MAX*!
