Interesting timing, as Waterstones in Edinburgh fired a blogger last week You might want to check out the (in my opinion) childish demands and lists at The Bloogers Bill of Rights ; note that they list Microsoft, which isn't exactly accurate and the blog owner says she'll only take them off if Bill Gates sends her money. I was so annoyed at the silly people I blogged a response, but as they don't support trackbacks I doubt they'll ever see it. Good luck.
