 > Word is worse than a hog. It's a blabbermouth. I was once sent a business
 > proposal in Word format. I don't have Word, and Microsoft's free reader
 > was two versions old and never updated. To read the letter, I used a hex
 > editor, finding many interesting tidbits, including the printer on his
 > system, scraps of other documents to other people that indicated shady if
 > not criminal dealings, and the directory -- "Used Cars" -- that the letter
 > to me was composed in. I declined his offer to cooperate.
