Great. All this time I thought I was contributing to something that
wouldn't get gobbled up by corporate culture, & now I find I'm just another
stooge for Disney, soon to be a Paul ("I made the Trailblazers a mediocre
NBA Team") Allen possession. I also expect anyday to find on every page
of Wikipedia a "This page best viewed in Internet Explorer 5.0."

(Okay, so the above was not very funny. At least I'm not the upteenth person
to repeat the obvious comment "I always suspected this was a Mickey Mouse
project" to the confusion of the non-USA people. ;)
