When you said, "he may have played loose with the rules" I didn't take that to mean, "he played loose with the rules".
But, I misunderstood you and I apologize.
>if you read my message thinking I was worshiping him
I apologize if I misrepresented your opinion. However, I would hope that if you read back your glowing post in regards to Bill Gates one might get the impression you may not be aware of all the wrongs he did as CEO as well.
>you're greatly exaggerating the wrongs he did as CEO.
Can't say I agree with you there when one critically looks at the sources of evidence that supports my supposition:

No, he's not. Nor is he Hitler, etc. I apologize if within my short response to you I gave you the impression that I thought he was a spawn of Satan. I'm a bit more of a complex thinker than that, I think. But, I suppose I deserve that since I errantly implied you "worship" Gates. :D
Then again, I tend to get compared to Satan once I criticize Bill Gates in most forums, so I'll own it instead.
>Take a breath.
Thank you, I will. :)
Second, if you read my message thinking I was worshiping him or applying some sort of sainthood, then it is your opinion that is pre-conceived, blurred and wrong, not mine. I'm explicitly saying the man does not do it out of niceness, but because he likes (and need) to tackle a challenge and we're lucky this time he picked one that would benefit us, especially since he's one of the few than can win that one.
Third, you're greatly exaggerating the wrongs he did as CEO. Not that he did not do any or that it wasn't so bad, but he isn't the second coming of the devil either.
Take a breath.
