                   should I give a flying fuck what some anonymous git like
                   yourself thinks, b) why do you care how many there are? and
                   c) the whole thing was created solely for the amusement of
                   those with a sense of humor which clearly excludes you.  I
                   have privately identified myself to a few friends who are
                   sworn unto death to keep my identity a secret.  Those who
                   know don't tell, those who tell don't know.  As long as I'm
                   writing I should add that without psb none of this would be

           friends left behind several days worth of trash, melted candles
           into otherwise nice places to sit, and were kind enough to leave

                           have outweighed all the other silly bits.  -John

           marginally risky for your morals and beliefs, provided such
           morals and beliefs exist.
        \_ But is this guy helping or hurting his cause?  If he is only
            making more people think that animal rights people are wackos,
            then it seems like he is hurting his cause.

        the people about their job satisfaction at M$, some were reluctant to
        express their feelings because they were afraid of being labeled as
        "brain-washed" or "traitor", but all of them expressed that M$ was
        the happiest place on earth. Here's what I don't understand. If M$ is
        such a bad ass evil company that kills happiness and kills creativity,
        how come the people there are so much happier than the people here at
        Silicon Valley? Are the M$ totally brain-washed, or are we all brain-
