Hey Rich,

All nonsense aside, I'm confident that I'd be a great fit for that kind of
job and I'm looking for work in Free Culture, so I'd love to give this a
try.

I believe that having Free Culture folks work within Microsoft and be
associated with Microsoft's name is a good thing for the community. Having
been involved in campaigns against astro-turfing (SaveTheInternet, political
campaigns) I feel that my moral compass would help me to take advantage of
Microsoft's "inside" information while maintaining inquisitive journalism.


So, if you don't mind, put me in touch with Mz. Manisha and I'll be your
insider.

Thanks much,
Ryan Prior
