Yes, I vaguely remember hearing that Tim was working at Microsoft at some time or another, and also at other software companies, I forget which ones, but I do not remember hearing any insider gossip about that. When he was here visiting his parents, who were friends of my parents, he was talking about his cruise to the South Pole. That is one of the few things that I can remember about him now, And also his kayaking adventures.
So just because I was not working there, that does not make me related to Bill, any more than to quite a few thousand people on the globe who I never met.
Just because that 3-year-old brat Ronnie spilled stuff all over himself, that does not make it my job to clean up his mess. That is why their maid Chavelita is stationed there to put the foot in his mouth, so I am really not needed for anything there.
