I'm sorry Denis, but I don't see anything funny about that. I guess we have different definitions of 'funny' and 'reporter'.

>Anyway if Bill Gates would'nt have been at that conference (on bridge) do you really think that this conference would have attracted national television? Then again it could because that event was during the summer and there are less interesting things covered during the summer.

>What is the interest to see a conference with Bill Gates if you can't talk about his business or anything related to his business?

>I'm sure that there are many persons that are better bridge player than Bill Gates that were in Montreal but He was the one at the press conference. You were complaining that the reporter whould'nt call himself a reporter because of the way he acted. Even after knowing that this was a joke. If that press conference was a serious event (which I doubt a lot) how do you think Bill Gates should call himself because of his presence at that press conference instead of the best players?
