    I you talk big, you must act big. You can't go around using a post office and subjecting yourself to prison time and lawyers. It's as simple as that. Otherwise you are not pure and…

    I guess he is a hero? I hope he didn't mail you anything before he died. He had a grudge and took it out on random people. He survived longer in prison than he did in nature. Weird…

    Eek, why don't we fix AMT and stop treating employees so poorly? This whole scheme is utterly repellent to me and makes me feel incompetent to have to read and consume it. Why so m…

    You have violated the number one rule in Silicon Valley: If it doesn't take at least "N" "engineers" to "solve" a problem who report directly to moi, then how am I relevant? So I a…
