Only once. They bend definition. Watch what they do with OOXML when they
present it to panels. They manipulate every little thing they can (and often
get away with it). Who would want to challenge a thug or get a conflicting
message past a multi-billion dollar marketing department. You get
muted/overwhelmed by the PR charade, which even the trolls in this NG are
taking part of.
