> Good alternative Eric, but, your kidding yourself if you dont think that Gates and his inner circle have not hinted or even directed all MSFT staff to do their part to up-hold the company image in whatever means possible and to whatever sources they have access to.

So any MSFT employee who posts here is doing so only because they've been told to? This implies that MSFT employees 1) aren't interested enough in finance to be here of their own volition and 2) don't care enough about the company to discuss it unless they're ordered to. I'd say that both are invalid conclusions.

> Sorry, your being naive if you think this message has not gone down through the ranks. Of course you would not ever hear that from a MSFT employee though.

Maybe some MSFT employees are willing to discuss MSFT of their own volition? You're certainly not giving them much credit as people.

Facts:

1. I work for Microsoft. This shouldn't be news, I've disclosed it several times before.

2. I haven't received any communications telling me to defend the company publicly.

3. I'm more than willing to discuss MSFT in public of my own volition. I don't need someone to tell me to do it.

4. I've been posting here since before I came to work at Microsoft, and intend to continue to do so in the future as time permits.

5. None of my managers have any idea that I post here. I doubt they've even heard of SI.

6. I'm a member of SI because I hope information here will make me a more successful investor. Any other motives attributed to me are the figments of other people's imagination.
