[ale] overheard conversation

[Jim Kinney]

If only it had been that obtuse! The conversation really was about
running exchange server under wine in a testing process. It was also
said with the full knowledge that it was a. one total waste of time
and b. other Linux geeks were in earshot and would likely have a
stroke over being handed _that_ as a maintenance task.

evil humor indeed. I think my heart skipped 4-5 beats when I heard it.
