================================================ Subject: Re: Origins ... From: "creed -7m3 - live" To: Date: Sat 25 Aug 2001 02:56:59 -0400 ================================================ My sources haven't been ripped to shreds. Since the Microsoft idea for charging for software. On a subscription basis were correct. Though the XP operating system was not marked as having a subscription option. But, the fact that there is so much in the way of discrediting my comments about the issue and my overall credibility are reasons for me to persist with the discussion. About looking up the sources. Before I make a post. I don't think that my job is to be a reporter with disclosed sources and references. Naive or a liar!!!! I hardly think so!!!!!! Send me the original post. Since I empty my send mail occasionally and don't have the "source". For you to think that any 12 year old child would think that the scheme regarding subscriptions and forced upgrades, to not being legitimate. I hardly think that the case would be there. Look how much deflection has been given towards saying it was XP Office. (Different animal, but same outcome.) I'll be quiet about the whole SW issue. But, to reference personal attacks about things related to my search attempts or dictionary references. I needed to bring up the related topic. Jim On Sat, 2001-08-25 at 02:16, Kevin L.
