Re: Microsoft Word strikes yet again!

Ahh, but if politicians actually understood the technology they were 
using, then they wouldn't *COUGH* *DMCA* *COUGH* make such silly laws 
relating to it would they?

So at least in recompense we get to be entertained with such snafus.

Then again I suppose being political is hardly a requirement for such a 
mistake.  Tech companies that should have known better have made the same 
blunder.
