According to the official website of MS, you are among Microsoft's
representatives, and yet you claim that you are not. Were you
ignorant about the plans of MS for you? Or, are you ashamed of your
role?
Why won't you let this go? Anyway, ad nausem, let me point to the very
first mail I sent to this group where I introduced myself in the very
first paragarph. Or in my latest summary mail to Sudharshan where I
spoke about where I got Windows XP from.I definitely haven't been trying
to hide. It would have been easy for me to hide...just remove my email
sig and post from a different id. In fact, all throughout, I've been
exhorting people to sign up in my group. If you were one among the
people who had taken up my offer, you would have seen me sign mails
there as 'Microsoft Student Ambassador' .I only talk of myself as an
ambassador when I'm doing work for MS (as in going to other colleges and
talking for MS or talking in MS events).
As for the 'official' thing , I meant that I'm not talking for Microsoft
here. They do not edit or influence anything I say. And please stop
trying to make me out as some sort of MS lackey...I'm definitely not.
When I'm fulfilling my role as a student ambassador, I'll be exhorting
students to start learning .NET and get in touch with other students
learning .NET. I'll talk about where you can get access to various
Microsoft technologies. I'll talk about how you can get the resources
you need from MS. Have I done any of this in any of my mails?
Please do realize that I've a brain and I think on my own...just because
I'm involved with Microsoft does not make me a 'diabolical ranter'. If
you have an issue with any specific point I've raised, do reply on that
thread rather than resorting to personal attacks.
Ok...if I go on any longer, I'll definitely be wasting archive space.
Your diabolic rants only waste time and space in the archives.
Diabolic? For god's sake...come on.
