HOAX! RE: ilugd is shutting down

[Jeffrey Yep <jyep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This definitely sounds like a hoax for a number of reasons. First of all, 
Micosoft has nothing to gain by taking such action except a lot of bad 
publicity. And under no circumstances can they prove that ILUGD has marred 
their name or used 'illegal' means to discourage people from using their 
products. That ways they'd have to shutdown every single LUG inthe world which 
I don't think they can take up and will not take up.

Secondly, Raj would not annouce a shutdown all of a sudden. The normal 
procedure to follow would be to put the issue onto the list and discuss it, 
not just annouce a decision.

Thirdly, his signature is not there at the bottom.

Fourthly, this email has so many grammatical and spelling errors that you can 
instantly make out its not from Raju. If you've read enough of his mails, he 
kinda looks like a stickler for grammar. :-)

Testing? What's that? If it compiles, it is good, if it boots up it is perfect.
