"Foster" is a fraudulent pseudonym used by Microsoft's anti-Linux
propaganda agents for posting in COLA. This history proves that
the enormous flood of anti-Linux propaganda into COLA is coming
from the Microsoft Corporation:

This is a better link:

That's an article by Techrights requesting people to boycott
the domain registrar GoDaddy because it supports the SOPA Web
censorship bill.
GoDaddy published a denial called "Go Daddy No Longer Supports
SOPA" but the content of that denial belies its title. It quotes
the CEO of GoDaddy as saying "Fighting online piracy is of the
utmost importance..."

I can think of a number of things that are of utmost importance,
such as keeping the Internet uncensored, preserving freedom of
speech, and stopping the descent into worldwide fascism. But
"fighting online piracy" only helps preserve the profits of some
very wealthy people and corporations, if it even does that. And
it can easily be misused to censor websites that disagree with
the government. So GoDaddy's denial that it supports SOPA is
a lie. It still strongly supports the corporatist purpose of
SOPA, and cares little about its censorship effects.
Now we come to a comment to the Techrights article, posted by
another Microsoft anti-Linux propaganda agent (or maybe the same
one -- since they always use false names, it's impossible to tell).
Microsoft is constantly attacking Techrights, because Techrights
reports on Microsoft's extortion, coercion, deception, fraud, etc.

That's a standard Microsoft attack on Techrights, very similar to
hundreds that it has posted in COLA under various false identities.
Then Microsoft's "Foster" continues the attack against Techrights:
