This is exactly my experience too. Of SIL, I mean, not of Microsoft
(none of whose individuals I've met). By reputation, culturecides
of the most narrowmindedly protestant stripe. In the flesh, utterly
decent, broadminded and sympathetic to cultural diversity.

This flesh, though, amounts to 100% of four individuals, none of whom
were SILers of longstanding.
