Microsoft value?

| What I wont quote is the rather long disclaimer at the beginning.  This is no
| insult to Blevdog but rather (IMO) a sad testament to the world we live in.
| A simple two lines of “these views are my own and not of my employer” would
| have sufficed, but instead of that we get a long winded disclaimer.  Ill let
| you form your own opinions on that, but to me it suggests “cave quid dicis,
| quando, et cui” has never been more relevant.  As I said before I do not
| believe this is any fault of Blevdog.
|
| So lets move onto the “meat” it was very nice (and interesting) to hear a
| little about Blevdogs experience/education, I think that says alot about him
| if he is willing to be very clear on what he has/hasnt done.  I hope readers
| here remember that whilst there have been allegations on the net of dubious
| practices by Microsoft, Blevdog is a real person.
