From: "Joe Barr" 


Now, now, Mister Shupak.

Shouldn't you be busy cooking up another steaming stack of bullshit to have
give to Meta Group or someone to publish as a TCO study?  Oh, wait. you
just did that.  Again.

You are so good with lies, Shupak.  They simply smooth their way out of
your mouth and lay flat on your plate.  Your worldwide rep as the most
dishonest person on the planet is well deserved.  But be wary, there is
revolution in the air.  It won't be pretty.
