Is it just me, or does this little refrain strike anyone else as a bit
silly. This is Captain Barry Friendly. We know you have a choice in
airlines. Thanks for choosing to be late and mistreated on *ours*.

I mean, are there other choices in the "newsgroup" category? If
Microsoft is so pleased, how come they don't pay us for asking our
questions here as opposed to one of those other choices? And is "MSDN
Managed Newsgroups" some sort of trademark for a particular brand of
"newsgroup" -- is that why it's spelled with initial capitals?
