You may well be "quite the knowledgeable person"...
... but your response made little sense to me. Your original post implied that if the EU took on Microsoft, then it would be the EU that would suffer economically.

All I pointed out was that the EU was an order of magnitude larger, economically, then Microsoft and - as such - it would be Microsoft that would that would suffer.

Your subsequent post rambled on tangentially about Boeing and forcing trade secrets from US companies. For a guiding light your logic left me a little in the dark. I'm sure that, in your mind, there is a connection between Boeing and the relative economic sizes of Microsoft and the EU; it was just that connection never really made it into your reply.

Could you try again? I am sure you did have something interesting and relevant to say with respect to our thread of conversation, it just seems to have not been communicated well from your mind to the keyboard.
