“Thanks, Byron, but I assumed he was called for the execution of Microsoft’s network, MSM. Was he talking about KSM?”
The link should not have read “MSM” [Main Stream Media] but rather “MSN” (MicroSoft Netork) as it is known in the UK, and is better known in the US as MS/NBC.
None of this has anything to do with WMD, WWE, or WWJD.
