LOL...nicely played.
Staying at home won't protect you from Microsoft's piratical, predatory decision to quit supporting XP and force XP users to walk the plank off what had been their most reliable operating system and buy one of their supported products.
What, you don't call that piracy? I bet it affects many hundred times more sailors than the thugs off Somalia and such like.
And yes, a comment thread hijack is probably the closest thing to piracy that most folks here are ever going to see, grin.
Which leads into one of my favorite pet peeves, which is the utter failure of most people to assess risk with anything resembling accuracy. People worry about pirates, hurricanes, and rattlesnakes when they should be making more provision for traffic accidents, doldrums, and bee stings. Let's face it, if you're a boater in California, you're more likely to be killed by the Coast Guard (San Diego) or a deputy sheriff (Lake County) than molested by anything resembling pirates. (And most USCG folks do a professional and difficult job.)
Okay, ye scurvy dogs hae' paid yer ransom and yer free o' this hijack, aarrrr.
