I didn't say there was. 

Yes, you did.

How did this thread get momentarily locked, then unlocked. It's almost like MSFT wants to keep investors from learning about these huge losses due to a failed strategic acquisition.

There's no conspiracy to defraud the world markets by locking a thread on a geek forum.

I didn't say anything about a conspiracy. Locking a thread containing a post about negative financial information about your publicly traded company is pretty flagrant protectionism.

If it was a conspiracy they would have immediately deleted the thread, added me to the firewall, and somebody would have visited my home and cut my brake cables like in the movie Antitrust. Get with the program. The answer's not in the box, it's in the band.

Hey, you're the one who said:

I was the one who said it was just someone being overzealous. 

Seriously, Microsoft isn't out to stop you.

That's not at all what you said.

Microsoft is only out to make money. I think that's pretty clear.

Overzealous employees are scary and dangerous as seen with Google Inc.

Though there are degrees of that. Apple employees probably by far win the gold medal of culticized scariness in my book, and that's saying a lot.
