An Open Letter
Dear Microsoft,
I have a request to make of your fine company: stop helping me.
This Office 2007 abomination was foisted upon me last month. Since that moment, I have spent more of my time trying to get Word and Excel to stop "helping" than I have spent engaged in actively productive behavior. I have been utilizing word processors and spreadsheets for decades; I can assure you that I fully understand how they operate. Should I require help, I know precisely where the F1 key is located.
In the meantime, please release a patch that makes this software behave like the stupid-but-obedient electron swarm it's supposed to be, instead of wailing like a precocious three year-old every time I want to sub-indent a goddamned paragraph. There are those of us out here who still remember the heinous evil that was Microsoft Bob... it won't take much more to make us snap.
Seriously. Fucking STOP.
Sincerely,
Jeff "Please Don't Turn Me Into A Serial Killer" Mauney
