  Thirded, but I think it is quite obvious from my
responses to Anthony that I
 think he is a troll.
 This is nothing personal against you but can we stop this right now?
If anyone else wants to talk to Anthony about whether he is a "troll"
or not, do it in private and *off-list*.
I have already said this in a post to the list once
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2007-May/030030.html)
and I repeat my statement: Accusing each other of trolling in public
only stimulates flame wars and is not
in any other way helpful to this list. The next unlucky person who
decides to entertain the list with ad personam comments about other
subscribers risks being moderated.

Thank you
Michael

 rude. 
 Seconded.

 Leasing equipment is what you do when you need the option to be able to
 cancel it should trading conditions turn against you and you no longer
 need the equipment (which is not the case with WMF - we *know* that our
 usage will continue to increase not decrease) -or- you want to be able to
 mark down the lease / interest payments against your tax liability, again
 which does not apply to WMF.

 As Robert got to saying first, please be constructive and don't troll.
