[BadVista Advocate] Virus

[Jacob Maynard]

Thank you.

Though Kevin, here, is a little harsh in the way that he said it, he is
right. If you use these terms, any current Windows user can't possibly
take us seriously. And this gives the air of "holier than thou" that Kevin
was talking about in a previous e-mail.

Even in any postings that we do on the wiki sights needs to be in clear,
though maybe not precise, English, or Chinese, or Spanish, etc. I know
that this isn't your high-school or college language course, but it is
important that we at least appear professional. We will be able to further
our cause with a good image.

Jacob
