Yes, Gerri was a POS. She will hopefully retire and never cause any more harm
to society. http://boycottnovell.com/2009/01/21/gerri-elliott-moves-on/

That's EDGI (see above). She and Orlando Ayala, David Driftmier and others
robbed kids of their freedom (of choice and freedom in general).
Gerri also corrupted government panels from what I can gathered. It's
reminiscent of the OOXML corruptions where Microsoft people swapped hats
(turncoats).

Microsoft is doing badly these days. It's not even telling the truth about how
bad things are.
