Ahh.. but if we are SUCCESSFUL, our marketshare will DWINDLE. We are
extremely happy to have turned the corner, where we no longer have 100%
marketshare.. after all, our mission is merely to catalyze and evangelize
Web Services.
While someone's on the Eight Ball, can someone else make an obnoxious
rock-paper-scissors game too?
Hey look, I said someday I'd post about something other than Am I Hot Or
Not! Only took 3 hours..
