A COLA TwitList
Roy Culley
newsgroup:
http://www.city-of-dis.com/twitlist/twitlist1.asp
Anyone got the time, knowhow and inclination to set one up for COLA?
Could save a lot of time when replying to trolls to merely point to
their entry in the twitlist. A brief description of the twits
'special' characteristics and a few links to some of their priceless
posts.
Might be fun. :-)

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more"
secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and
even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary
condition, either you are or you aren't. - Funkenbusch 1 Oct 2006

Great idea!

I have some code which I can use to achieve this quickly. How about making it
password-protected though, then passing it among us via E-mail?
BTW, my Slashdot profile indicates the my interview with Jeremly Allison will
soon hit the front page. W00t!

Thats unfair.
You and Pete use similar words and phrases.
I nominate both of you to keep up the twit list.
It takes one to know one.
And it take two to tango.

Wow!
You must be so proud of yourself!
Man, making the /. front page has to be, well, it has to be the ultimate
sign that you, Roy Schestowitz, have made it to the big leagues!
You must be orgasmic over yourself.
Better get a larger frame for that picture of yourself on the wall of your
dorm room.

Certainly some form of moderation will be required as to what gets
submitted. A simple login mechanism would suffice for making updates /
adding new twits.

Sounds like something that SourceForge can offer. Does Mathew really maintain
COLA.com? We could put it to use.
My assessment w.r.t. Slashdot was right. It's up now. I just hope the server
doesn't melt. It's on its way to Digg's front page and it's already on
Netscape, Technocrat, Groklaw and some other sites...

There are more deserving 'twits' IMHO. snit should just be ignored as
he's nothing more than a persistent troll who thrives on being fed.
Roy S is the only one to constructively respond to my post so far.
Surely someone has the time and inclination to set this up. I think it
would be fun and useful. There again perhaps I'm just an old fart
and no one else gives a damn.

I look forward to your examples that lead you to this conclusion. I reply
often to Peter and Rick... is that what you mean?

I think it would end up being a popularity contest of the one who sets it
up.

If I put something on my domain (like the COLA killfile Wiki), nobody (or
only few) will bother to participate because of a false sense of
'ownership'. Where would be a good place to set this up?

Hmmm, and if you do set it up will it be open or closed - will *anyone* be
able to add content?

Of course not.
And it's funny that these supposed "champions" of open software (and I
use that term very lightly) are already talking about a password
protected list, or kill file, or whatever completely closed off from
open opinion.
These "advocates" are hypocrites. People like Culley who post cola
stats and call people out of their name just because their opinion is
different. That doesn't follow the 'free as in speech' creed they
supposedly hold so dear. Or what about Schestowitz who will steal
copyrighted works and then curse others for doing the same.

Exactly!
And they are the very same hypocrites that use Windows all day long to
earn their living (except for Roy Schestowitz who is still sponging off
his grants and financial aid money) yet claim how useless it is.
They are the very same hypocrites who will follow the money when and if
they ever get a paying job.
Yet they expect others to OSS their software and give away their
intellectual property. With the exception of Mark Kent of course who
believes that their is no such thing as intellectual property.
Key word: Hypocrites.

Following is a reworded quote from the referenced webpage,
with apology to advocates: :-)
| This old favourite, is of course, based on a complete
| misunderstanding of Open Source Software (OSS) principles
| involved. It is explained to you in c.o.l.advocacy that the
| charter states that the newsgroup is for beneficial
| comparison of Linux to other operating systems. However,
| Winvocates insist that the second law of thermodynamics
| states entropy always increases in OSS, and that the
| Microsoft software is not such an open system. It is
| suggested that perhaps Microsoft may possibly be supplying
| value added .NET components, which in reality are lock-ins
| in lieu of Sun's JAVA, in this case the lock-ins ensure
| proprietary software sustainment and that perpetuation of
| its products are readily available.
Yes, Roy, I know it is drivel. Anyway, Happy New Year!
