I hate Microsoft. No, let me rephrase that. I hate everything that insults my intelligence, and Microsoft is very high on the list of them. Another thing that I hate is a bad standard. Put these two together, like the case of Microsoft pushing for ISO standardization of OOXML, and I’ll be entering a “Two Minute Hate” period!
I could bore you with all the reasons that I think OOXML is bad, but you can find all those and a few more over here. Specially interesting and possibly beneficial is a petition they’re seeking to prevent the standardization of OOXML.
You can also get these cool banners there!
(Sorry for the GIF. Still waiting for MNG adoption!)

I’m not sure, but I think I’ve signed that petition a while ago. How could I make sure of that? Try to resign it and see if I get a duplicate error?

Sign it again, the worst thing that could happen is that they get an extra signature! Wait, did I say “worst”?

I’d rather not make a fake/duplicate signature. Moral issues, you know. Don’t laugh man, this is for real!
BTW, I found the confirmation email that I’ve signed the petition 5 months ago.
