Hello Adriaan,
Thanks for posting this piece, it is really hilarious! :)

Hehehe... I would almost think so.
Through a former job I have often had the pleasure of attempting to get
support from the Microsoft Kartel. Believe me, it ain't an easy thing to
do. First you have to pay a LOT of money to be able to get support, and
then you are sent from left to right, to up and down and back to left
again, in the circle. Until your donation has depleted, no answer has been
provided, and you can start again.
Compare that to the linux lists. I think the only hexadecimal that comes
by here are the PGP keys. *grin*
