No, I merely wrote things down like: "they decided to limit
participation to 20 entities for lack of space but the room could handle
almost 30 people and the host entity has an auditorium which it refused
to use". Or "Microsoft [the president of the TC] tried twice to shut me
up but only succeeded once" (and he did that to another oppositor), or
"Microsoft expert advising the usage of a ruler to know how to make
autoSpaceLikeWord95 (where do you buy Word95 today, BTW?)", etc...

What I wonder is why such a "lowlife" like me deserves to be the target
of Microsoft's paid bloggers...
