    They love Bill Gates. Worst of all, they think that everyone agrees
    on this. Those people don't normally read any computer related
    newsgroups.
    We need to heighten their awareness. This is a two-step procedure.
    First, put a subliminal message in your .sig.. Some witty
    Anti-Micro$oft quote or better yet a reference to the Micro$oft hate
    page at http://www.oeh.uni-linz.ac.at:8001/~chris/HATE/hate.html
    Blatant advocacy like "Linux forever" or "OS/2 rulez" won't do,
    sorry. This will just make you look like an idiot.
    Then post to groups where these people hang out, like rec.pets.cats
    or rec.gardens.roses.
    Be on-topic. Agree with what people say. This will make them curious
    about your .sig.
    They might start to investigate, and sooner or later they'll stumble
    across the truth: that everyone hates Micro$oft. Voila, one less for Billyboy.
    The point is, as long as this anti Micro$oft sentiment is confined
    to the nerdy world of computer scientists, Bill Gates couldn't care
    less. It will take some uhh .. propaganda to get the word out.
    Any other ideas?
