Bob Stephan once graced the group known as atsr with the following brace admission:

• Micro$oft tech support? Where I come from, such an admission would be suicidal.
  

If this is a recovery group then my admission should be regarded as treatment?

Now such logic and courage being demonstrated on a newsgroup would normally cause much consternation and confusion, fortunately Bob known to us as E explained the matter to Bob saying:

1. The first step in getting help is admitting you have a problem. If y'all can think of a bigger problem than the one he just admitted, let me know, eh? ;)
2. You gotta pity Microsoft tech support people (but not till they're retired): Anyone trying to support such a fucked-up OS to people whose only goal is to "surf the internet" and know NOTHING about computers? That's a no-win situation. Not, of course, that you could pay me enough.

And thus was the first step to recovery taken by one of the damned as an example to us all
