Yeah, I'd noticed that :)

Seems if you forget to include "Borland Sucks" in your .sig even once,
that message will be enough to make you one of the "usual suspects".
There is a common intellectual deficit on the net where a single
message against one position is automatically and dogmatically assumed
to be a message in favor of the polar opposite position.

I've had some major problems with D2005. I was quite hot in some of my
posts on the subject, but that kind of incident is inconvenient to the
"I-hate-Borland-apologists" crowd (hey, if they can draw us/them lines,
I can make use of those lines!), so they tend to overlook those posts.
