[1]: Certain off-charter, abusive, anti-Linux or pro-Microsoft
threads will be dropped, depending on their severity, and
hence not included in the stats, which are provided by me
as a measure of advocacy, not as a means of spreading the
Trolls' lies and malice even further.
[2]: Troll feeder %'age is (troll feeding posts / total posts) * 100
[3]: The poster 'quality' stats is based on:
a) quoting: 100 - %'age quoted
b) cross-posting: 100 - %'age cross-posted
c) number of direct followups posters articles get
d) troll feeding: 100 - 2.0 * %'age troll followups
e) 75 deducted for known trolls
f) for the humour impaired the quotes around 'quality'
are intended to convey they are not to be taken too
seriously :-)

Warning: these "stats" are manipulated by [O]SS [L]owlife [H]omer the
[W]hining [H]ypocrite to remove posters and/or subjects he doesn't like. In
no way are they a reflection of the posting activity of
comp.os.linux.advocacy.
The 'Toplist of Posters' is a lie.
The 'Toplist of Subjects' is a lie.
The 'Toplist of Most Replied To Posters' is a lie.
The 'Toplist of Troll Feeders' is a lie.
The 'Toplist of 'Quality' Posters' is a fiasco.
The 'Toplist of Newsreaders' is a lie.
Tappit Hen
I agree. The stats are all but useless. By not including posts from
trolls [H]omer's stats do not reflect COLA at all. This was not done
previously I think.
[H]omer, if you can't post stats without such huge bias what is the
point? At least there is another stats posted each week which reflects
posts to this newsgroup accurately.
Hadron
Rick is a "quality" poster? Even he would doubt that I suspect. Unless
posting "no, you smell" rejoinders to Snit now counts as "quality" in
COLA. Although it would explain why so many advocates think that all OSS
GUI apps are "high quality".
William Poaster
Good, well you read that one instead, & play with the wintrolls like DFS. AFAIC
(& others) they have no place in COLA nor in the stats.

At least add a "Toplist of Trolls".

But that /are/ here. The least we can do is count them <grin>.

Tappit Hen
Then at least [H]omer should drop the troll feeders and 'quality'
stats as they are meaningless. Better drop the stats completely as
they are now meaningless. It is feeding the trolls by posting biased
stats. For once DFS is correct - miraculous as that may seem.

How is that statement communist? If anything, that's U.S. capitalism.

Hey, Rick has figured out how to copy and paste the same BS claim over and

Because [Homer] is yet another Linux phony, just like Roy Schestowitz who
is using this group for his own self serving purpose.
For [Homer]:

[Homer] is a complete liar.
These stats prove it.
Compare them to the REAL stats that come out Sat nite or Sun morning.
It's not even close.
And I believe you CAN get the source code for that script.

He can be more reasonable than he has been. When he gets in over his head,

The "point" is to reflect the statistics for *advocacy* in this
*advocacy* newsgroup, not further propagate the Trolls lies which are
designed to sabotage this group. Why do /you/ apparently have such a
"huge bias" towards defending the Trolls?
If there were a thousand posts per day from a Viagra spammer, would you
criticise me for omitting /those/ from the stats too? Frankly, Viagra
spam would be preferable to the shit the Trolls spew into this group
ever day. But apparently you /want/ that ... it's essential that you eat
shit every day, then for dessert you want to have that same shit
repeated in a nice stats post, so that all those nice people who
killfiled that crap in the first place, have to read it anyway. Well
fuck you, and fuck the Trolls whose arse's accommodate your overinflated
skull.

they certainly don't have any desire to promote it, so what rights do
you think they should have ... other than the right to piss off out of
COLA and leave us the fuck alone. Just like you should, since apparently
you have nothing better to do than to criticise me for posting stats
that refuse to further poison COLA with their garbage.
Don't like the stats, then don't read them, and shut the fuck up.

The only one poisoning COLA is Schestowitz.
Only you are too stupid to see it.
Do you even notice that for the most psrt you, [Homer] and Mark Kent are
the only people replying to Schestowitz?
Liarnut seems to be a new drone as well, but that's it.
Why do you think that is?
Think about it.
And lest you think it's COLA, go look at Roy Schestowitz's digg
contributions and you will see the same pattern over there.
Roy is ignored.

And once again you are wrong.
Nobody cares about those stats, IOW the numbers, except YOU Roy
Schestowitz.
And that is because you are paid to SPAM.
IOW quantity over quality.
It's the PRINCIPLE of [Homer] being a hypocrite that is the point of the
stats discussion.
If he posted the source code in full and posted ACCURATE stats each week,
he would be left alone.
Case in point, the REAL stats that get posted this week don't attract
trolls.
So you see, once again, your points have no merit, Roy Schestowitz.

It is no wonder. After reading troll posts (which in essence not
worth reading), very little of it hints of Linux advocacy. Much
of it are rants toward denigration of advocate character. Thus,
it is not even worthy to include in statistics.

You don't have to look in COLA to read what people think of rabid Linux
advocates.
You can start here:
http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.11.26.101258.24.html
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Linux+Zealot&defid=891103
1. Linux Zealot
Someone who thinks they are so 1337 because they use Linux and claim to
hate Windows, and fail to admit that it is just as bug-ridden and has an
ugly GUI to boot. Most don't even know how to use it!
2. Linux Zealot
30 up, 8 down
Someone who Zealously defends the superiority of the Linux operating
system. The typical Linux Zealot hangs around a forum or IRC channel and
answers questions that blatantly refer to Microsoft windows with questions
like "What operating system are you using?" or replies with instructions
that relate to Linux.
Many Linux Zealots know very little about the operation of the Linux
operating system and are simply trying to gain respect from fellow Linux
users.
I went to a linux help channel to ask how to make this software work but I
was called a lamer and told to read the documentation which from what I can
tell doesn’t exist.
3. Linux Zealot
Perhaps the most hilarious people I've ever encountered. Known for their
hatred of Windoze.
I like Linux, but it's not like I'm a Linux Zealot.
So go and bury your head wherever Rafael, because nobody really cares what
you think.
You are funny to watch though.

I like the stats the way they are, no need to change. OTOH,
speaking of Viagra, troll posts have been going strong these past
4 hours. Time for them to see a specialist; thing's been up this

You have me all wrong sunshine. I just want to see stats that reflect

There are killfiles for ignoring posters you don't like. Stats are
