A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

In this page: http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/ you write:
"M$ Windows (all varieties) "
I do not know the problem you might have with Microsoft sir, but this is
down right unprofessional and filthy to reffer to Microsoft as M$,
ESPECIALLY when the project you are developing is actually running on that
platform. It truly takes down your credibility and it makes you look like
one of these OSS zealots who can't see beyond their own nose from zealotry.
I would like to kindly ask you to re-instate the correct name of the
company, as you have done so for all the other companies mentioned in this
very web page.
Note: I am not a Microsoft assosiate of any kind, neither I have nothing
else to do with them. I am NOT even their fan. My husband lost his job
because of Microsoft. But no matter my personal feelings for them and their
illegal business practices, I do not let these feelings dripping on OSNews.
I run OSNews.com, which is a web site reporting *equally* on *all* OSes, OSS
or not. I try to be objective. It really saddens me the behaviour of the
Linux people not being able to deal properly with the Microsoft "issue". If
you want to fight Microsoft for a reason, please do it *intelligently*. I do
not think I, the reader and user of Blackbox, deserved to see such a
behaviour on an OSS site for a project that I use on *both* my Windows and
on my Linux boxes.
No hurt feelings.
Thank you,
Eugenia
