FWIW, I encounter people low-life enough to get pissed off over just
such a thing. And are just as oblivious.

The sad thing about this is it's so close to reality that it might as
well be factual rather than satire.

Incredible! Neither do I!
Does this mean we must now start nominal profiling?

Maybe if you got out a little more and didn't spend all your free time
hanging around with bunch of skinheads.

me neither, of course I don't know anyone named huang who DOES pirate
software either. Dunno that attributing behavior to a name is really all
that desirable, next you'll be saying the irish are all drunks, the french
are all effete snobs who don't shower, the germans are all trying to take
over the world, the mexicans are lazy - and yet they are taking american
jobs... boggled by that one still, all canadians play hockey... well, you
get the picture.
