How is stating the truth equivalent to being a prick?

He didn't say that *ALL* prople who use Outlook are like this.

Nevertheless, it is 100% true that the correlation is there.

Another example: I can filter aol.com or any Microsoft software from
my Usenet server.

The result is an immediate and drastic improvement in the signal to
noise ratio.

If you are offended by that, well, I don't know what to say.  It doesn't
stop it from being true.

Note: I don't do this because I know a few people these filters would
catch who are worth listening to.  However, it is also a fact that
Usenet is much harder to read without those filters.
