Hmm. I'll consider this, although I might skip the XBox gaming portion. It might even be instructive to see the inside of the Microsoft Alpharetta campus. I'll leave the rhetoric for other more experienced writers.<br>

According to the site, this event is<br>
"Hosted by [Mafia$oft]".<br>
<br>
To me, that is a guarantee that the summit will<br>
only amount to a Windisease commercial promotion<br>
scam for enlisting gullible dupes to advertise and<br>
spread the viruses that make the M$ thugs wealthy<br>
without having to pay those zombie slaves any<br>
share of the the ill gotten loot from their<br>
labors.<br>
<br>
I'm not going to squander one calorie of my<br>
precious volunteer energies to, in any way,<br>
condone or perpetuate the use of incompetent<br>
computer operating systems and viral file<br>
formats that can only serve to aid and abet<br>
convicted corporate criminals in their<br>
continuing user abusive business practices of<br>
fraudulent disinformation campaigns and<br>
extortionist racketeering.<br>
<br>
However, since ALE has no formal organizational<br>
structure, anyone who is an active participant<br>
in any ALE activity has as much claim to being<br>
a "user group leader" as any other member. In<br>
that light, I have forwarded this invitation in<br>
case someone has an interest in tarnishing the<br>
ALE identity at this Summit and reporting any<br>
viable information or ideas they obtain back<br>
to the list.<br>
:-P<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Aaron Ruscetta<br>
(acting) ALE Events Coordinator (etc.)<br>
