At least Roy has a reason to be here. The better question is who's
paying you and the rest of the dummy briagde to come here and rail
against linux every day? I can't think of anything sadder than an
individual spending time every day posting in a newsgroup for something
they hate.

WTF do I care? You have cross posted to Ubuntu which has NOTHING to do
with your subject. I couldn't possibly care less if he gets paid or not
for posting to comp.os.linux.advocacy, nor what his motives are. Keep
your trash out of areas that have nothing to do with your subject.
Further, are YOU an M$ FUDster getting PAID to make comments like this?
What are YOUR motives? What makes YOU any better? If you don't like
Linux and/or Schestowitz, get out of here and go update your Anti virus
Defs.

G'day

Meet flatfish aka Gary Stewart, a Wintroll who's been doing this crap for 10
years.

Roy simply has great automation tools. Stuff that Windows users can
only dream of. So you cannot even comprehend how easy it could be to
make 55746 posts.

LOL, there ya go. "The pot calling the kettle black" comes to mind. He
just needs to run along and update his Anti Virus Defs, then scan, clean
the registry, scan for key loggers, scan for root kits, malware,
individually update every program installed, etc, etc, etc. That alone
should take up more time than he has for dissing Linux in here. Again,
at least Roy has a reason to be here in the LINUX ADVOCACY group doing
what? ADVOCATING Linux, rather than dissing it as others seem compelled
to do. (Paid to do?)

Oh, I am sure that no one is being paid here. Everyone is off on some sort
of activity that gives them personal satisfaction.

In the case of Schestowitz, one can only ask the obvious question as to who
would pay him? The payer would have to be able to derive some advantage
from Schestowitz's activities and there just isn't any way to do that for
anyone, however hypothetical. Ergo, Schestowitz is just a nutcase with a
passion for creating a blitz of postings. If you filter him and a basic
group of toadies, then you only see threads where someone whom you are
interested in reading has posted. That seems to rid your screen of 90+
percent of his posts.

After takin' a swig o' grog, chrisv belched out
this bit o' wisdom:

Yeah. The first time I see "Linux loonies", "Linux sucks", "LiarMutt",
"Liarnut", "Linux liars", or "Hadron", I know the post is de facto garbage
and the poster is utterly clueless, worthy only of plonkage.

One can debate the merits of Linux in a civil manner; there's no need to
expose oneself to churlish behavior (unless you're looking for some
entertainment).

Except in COLA you do not debate anything. If anyone mentions something
lacking in a Linux/OSS app you start screaming and shouting and pointing
fingers and accusing people of being "Winshills".

You will find no posts from me saying Linux sucks. You will find posts
from me saying many OSS projects are garbage. You will also find lots of
posts from me advocating the better OSS packages. You will find posts
from me suggesting that command line building is NOT a good idea for the
average nOOB. etc etc.

You can tell lies and huff and puff and make things up as much as you
like - the only person you are showing up is yourself as the bald faced
liar that you are.

No automation at all. Knode has menu options for text decorations and good
facilities for identifying related posts. It takes 1-2 hours a day to do these
postings and longer to find them and read them.

I spend a lot more time doing other things.

That would do the trick.

A tribute to the productivity tools of Linux and OSS.
