>And where is your sense of humor here Sergey?

>Like I mentioned this recapitulation or the year's events was made with a HUMOROUS TOUCH.

>HUMOROUS TOUCH needs to be emphasized here because it looks like some of you people did'nt understand that.

>So this implies that the reporter was not acting the same as if he'd be covering the conflicts with Sadam Hussein.

>So based on that specification what was really wrong with that 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?

>>It's sad that person that calls himself a reporter came to the press conference not to report on it but to create a news. I wouldn't call him a reporter at all.

>>>Yesterday night I watched a tv program I taped some days ago. That program showed us the main events (with a humorous touch) of the things that happened during 2002.
>>>
>>>At one point they talked about when Bill Gates was in Montreal to play in a bridge tournament.
>>>
>>>There was a press conference for Bill Gates. But the thing (not mentioned in the program but I knew about that before watching it) is that reporters were'nt supposed to ask questions related to topics other than bridge. In short nothing related to MS businesses activities.
>>>
>>>So the reporter for that program showed up to the press conference with a monopoly board game because he wanted to ask Bill if he'd like to play a game with him.
>>>
>>>I thought that was hilarious. He never got to speak with Bill because his bodyguard got the reporter out of the conference.
>>>
>>>The bodyguard told the reporter that he was thrown out of the press conference because he was known as an individual that made problems in similar events.
>>>
>>>After that I was wondering if Bill Gates ever heard of what had just happened. Was he the one that made the decision to kick him out. Hmmm...
