["Craig Flannagan" <craigfla at microsoft.com>] Microsoft Canada would like to visit your user group

[Duncan MacGregor]

No way.

We are a Linux technical group. No salesman can help us.

Microsoft cannot and will not help us with any of our interests. 

To tell us anything technically useful, they require a non-disclosure 
agreement, which could jeopardize our work with Linux. 

They want to destroy everything that we work on. Forget it. 

They want converts *to* Microsoft.  

I say we should accept No gifts. No Toys. No obligation. Nothing.
