Gary M. Stewart (aka “Flatfish”) About Microsoft AstroTurfing: “It’s made me A LOT of money….”
Roy Schestowitz
“You’re right. Some of the evangelism practices that I taught and
executed at Microsoft in the 1990’s were unethical. I didn’t think so
at the time — I thought that they were just hyper-competitive — but I
agree now.”
–James Plamondon, former Microsoft ’shills chief’
LAST WEEK we showed solid proof that Microsoft was paying people for
what’s known as “AstroTurfing”. It’s part of the company’s strategy
and policy — always has been. The men at the very top — those who are
responsible for this — are Marshall Goldberg and James Plamondon.
Some people remember “Steve Barkto”, who was exposed by a newspaper
for being a Microsoft agent [1, 2, 3, 4]. Gary M. Stewart may be
another such agent, who has posted under literally hundreds of names
in mediums that include USENET, Digg, Slashdot, even Netscape/
Propeller, where he libeled, embarrassed, threatened, gave fake
testimonies, stole identities and — above all — viciously attacked
everything and everyone that competes with Microsoft. This has gone on
for over a decade, and that’s just one person (there are more).

That’s just a sample, a fraction of the names that he has used (about
200, among many more). Gary was mass-mailing my colleagues and bosses.
He did the same to other people whom he tried to get in trouble, or
get fired. That’s because they advocated GNU/Linux. Gary also posted
inflammatory and libelous stuff, sometimes ‘on behalf’ (forging) of
posters whom he was discrediting. The severity of this is very high.
The allegations, once tied to Microsoft, would have enormous
consequences because the number of victims of high and the damages
high too.
The identity of Gary was exposed several years ago back when one of
his victims, “mjcr”, found out his identity and posted:

That was years ago, so it’s possible that the address/es have changed.
As for the name, this was confirmed last year, again. He accidentally
had his Windows username, “Garys” (as in C:\Documents and Settings

Hilarious. And like all the funniest things - it's true that he says

Still, the funniest for me is Arsestrom claiming its OK to open a

The problem with him is that he really does believe in himself as some
sort of OSS/Linux messiah.

Roy, it is obvious no matter how much the Wintrolls will deny it.
There is active astroturfing going on, through the likes of the
posts from Gary M. Stewart, DFS, Erik Funkenbusch, Tim Smith,
amicus_curious, clogwog and nyms (Rick Mather), Hadron Quark and
a few lesser trolls. It is obvious that they communicate and
coordinate.
EU has made strides for fairness in competition; there, such
activity is considered illegal. However, most of those trolls
including clogwog live outside the EU and are not subject to EU
law (as Marti found out regarding clogwog).
Regarding Snit AKA Rhino Plastee and a few other nyms (Michael
Glasser), it is possible too, although currently he seems to be
nothing more than a nut case.
Linux is considerably more stable, inherently less viral prone
than Microsoft Windows. Apple OSX based on BSD Unix variant also
follows suite, why some able to afford prefer it.
In spite of all the nasty FUD these astroturfers toss up, Linux
is gaining. Because windows has dominated the microcomputer
desktop environment (and perpetuated for a time due to
uncompetitive monopoly maintenance), it has been an initial slow
climb for Linux.
For example, look at all the lawsuits with Microsoft as defendant:

Microsoft's lawsuit payouts amount to around $9 billion
Updated Twice the GDP of Cambodia
By Désiré Athow: Thursday, 14 July 2005, 2:35 PM
* UPDATE Additional material at the end of this article.
MICROSOFT HAS had a long, a very long history of litigation,
court orders, patent infringements and antitrust lawsuits against
it since the very beginning of its history. We;ve managed to draw
up a partial list of these.
The surprising thing is not only the number of those lawsuits
against Microsoft - at one time, it had more than 130 pending -
but more importantly, the sheer amount of money it represents.
The Redmond giant has been ordered to pay nearly $9 billion, a
figure which is set to rise with some lawsuits still to be ruled on.

New Case Against Microsoft Brought To European Commission
Dec 01, 2008
The Dutch software dealer HW Trading has proffered a complaint
concerning Microsoft's marketing practices to the European Trade
Commission. The reason: Microsoft has for years been selling its
products at a higher price in Europe than it does in America.

Going back to Linux succeeding, if you think about it, outside
US, the educational and business sectors are more Linux friendly
than US. Even in US, Linux deployments do not often make
mainline news because of the lack of paid for advertising, which
Linux does not need. Following are news leaks:
Regarding Kerala, India's 12,500 high schools now embracing Linux
and FOSS:

Kerala high schools complete the migration to Linux and Open source
Indian Express - Wednesday, March 5, 2008
Kerala is all set to become the first state in India to
completely banish Microsoft and allow only GNU/Linux free
software to be used in the mandatory IT test at the state SSLC
examinations that half a million students will appear for from
next week. Till last year, they could take the exam using either
free software or the Microsoft platform. Not anymore.
A few weeks ago, the Government formally ordered that only free
Linux-based software should be used for IT education in high
schools, using new the Linux text books developed by State
Council for Educational Research and Training and the Free
Software Foundation of India.
The state government's anti-proprietary planks apart, another
major plus of abandoning Microsoft, claim state IT Mission
officials, is plainly the cost factor. “Going for a massive
Windows-based infrastructure cost a lot. Linux can bundle all
applications with the operating system facilitating a single
installation kit”.

ProInfo and Linux Educacional - KDE in Public Schools in Brazil
* Apr. 23rd, 2008 at 6:09 PM
One of the highlights of fisl9.0 for me was getting to know
better the work that is being done by Brazil's Ministry of
Education (MEC). They have just unveiled the numbers for the
ongoing ProInfo project. What is interesting about this project
is that it not only provides infrastructure (computers and net
connectivity) but also open content to students in public schools.
The software installed on these systems is "Linux Educacional
2.0", a very clean Debian-based distribution, with KDE 3.5,
KDE-Edu, KDE-Games, and some tools developed by the project.
[...]
As this first slide shows, until the end of this year there will
be already 29,000 labs deployed, serving approximately 36 million
students. This number grows to more than 53,000 by the end of
2009, and at that time 52 million students will have access to
them. You can also see in the slide a solution that is being
developed for classrooms: a single hardware unit with integrated
projector, cpu, bundled content and DVD player. With it, digital
content will no longer be restricted to the info lab, and will be
usable by teachers in the traditional classrooms as well.

EU: Schools increase use of Open Source
Open Source News - 26 February 2008 - EU and Europe-wide - General
Schools using GNU/Linux or other Open Source systems for desktop
PCs are no longer rare, though in many countries their numbers
are very low. Not so in India, Macedonia, the Philippines, Russia
and Turkey, where hundreds of thousands of pupils are becoming
familiar with Open Source.
This type of software will become more prominent in education,
expects Datamonitor, a research firm. In a report published last
month it predicts that spending on Open Source software,
including maintenance and services, by the education sector
globally will reach $489.9 million by 2012, compared to $286.2
million today.
[....]
However popular these laptops may become, the number of Western
European classrooms were Open Source software is being used
daily, is dwarfed by those in countries like Macedonia, Turkey
and Russia.
In Macedonia, a 180.000 PCs running the GNU/Linux distribution
Ubuntu are being deployed in schools across the country. In
Turkey all students aged 11 and 12 will find Open Source on their
schools PCs as an option next to Microsoft Windows. And in
Russia, the government last year decided to migrate all schools
to GNU/Linux, a move that should be completed by 2009.
[/quote]
Such a threat to the Microsoft Corporation it is, that Chairman
Gates with his little Redmond book made the following statement:
[quote]
The increasing popularity of Open Source is one possible reason
for Microsoft chairman Bill Gates' recent announcement in Davos
to increase the companies' activities in the education market.
"Over the next three years we want to double the number of
students we get to and the number of teachers we get to, to
address the opportunity there."
[/quote]
Imagine that, 180,000 PC's, all with Linux installed. This is
just one country, but then there are others.
No wonder why Venezuela's Banco Mercantil and Northern California
Windsor School District have decided on Linux and Open Source,
along with all these (Linux deployment sampler, incomplete):
20,000 Singapore Ministry of Defence

Here is something said of Windsor:
http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid...
[quote]
The new setup also allows for better remote management. "[With
Windows] we had spent half our time driving around; we had to
touch every machine," Carver said. In a school system like
Windsor, all that driving was costing an already strapped IT
department too many resources.
Carver said it cost the district about $2,500 per school to
migrate to Linux, compared with the estimated $100,000 it would
have cost to upgrade their Windows infrastructure. In addition,
buying more Microsoft Office licenses would have cost the
district $100 per license, she said, whereas OpenOffice was free.
Linux as a learning tool
Ultimately, moving to Linux has enabled the Windsor School
District to build out technology capabilities that wouldn't have
been possible with Windows.
"[The students] are able to do more because Linux cost less,"
Carver said. "Our new computer lab [at Brooks] was set to cost
$35,000 and ended up costing us $16,000 with Linux [on thin
clients]."
And the kids love it too. "The kids think Linux is cool because
it's new, but what they're really doing is stepping into the 21st
century," Carver said.
[/quote]
$2,500 per school to migrate to Linux versus $100,000 per school
to upgrade Windows. It is not hard to do the math. OpenOffice
or commercial variant StarOffice meets most office automation
needs. It reads Office 2003 files and imports them. No one
wants Office 2007 formats, since they are even incompatible with
earlier Office variants.
Yes, due to the convicted's monopoly maintenance, Windows has
dominated for a long time. However, what we are seeing is a
developing synergy with Linux, as Governments, school systems and
private companies embrace Linux.
This ramping will increase exponentially. The common FUD by
Wintrolls will slowly die out, as commercial application delivery
shifts to Linux.
We live in exciting times.

I agree. As an OS. Unfortunately its HW support for modern HW is (and
was) not so hot in many cases. The commercial SW that people WANT is not
available for it. It's entertainment coverage is almost zero in terms of
modern games. And of course people like you scare new users away.
You need to take some reality pills.

HPT keeps saying Wally "proved" I use a sock puppet based on this
discussion:
-----
Snit quotes, in part, the following (and evidence for Wally's
bigotry, but that is irrelevant to Wally's current lies):
Snit:
Do you not see the bigotry in your comment?
Wally:
There is no sign of bigotry that can be attributed to
my comments Snit!
Rhino Plastee comments on Wally's clear bigotry, as shown in
what Snit quoted:
How can you say you are not a bigot when you blame the
Jewish race as a whole for the policies of Israel and
assume that someone who does not like those policies must
therefore not like the Jewish race? Clearly this is a
bigoted postion you are pushing, Wally.
Wally claims the quote Snit provided was inaccurate:
Clearly for your argument to hold up you need to put
words in my mouth! tsk, tsk!
Snit noted that the quote he provided was accurate:
Nope: I quote you directly and in context...
And then later Wally lies about *that* and says:
Proving that High Plains Thumper is correct, Snit does
nymshift as Rhino Plastee.
-----
In other words:
-----
1. Snit quoted Wally.
2. Rhino Plastee referenced the quote that Snit provided.
3. Wally denies the quote is accurate.
4. Snit noted that the quote he provided was accurate.
5. Wally jumps to the irrational conclusion that this means
Rhino Plastee and Snit are the same person.
6. High Plains Thumper jumped in to support that false
conclusion.
-----
For the record, I do not use sock puppets. Also for the record, as clearly
incorrect as Wally and HPT are, it is 100% predictable that neither one will
acknowledge their error in logic. That means even if they were merely
mistaken, at first, they will now be unable to admit they made a mistake and
will lie. Yup, they are both showing they are liars.
They can show I am wrong on this by admitting to their mistakes. As if.

Ah, I am now *paid* to post to COLA! LOL! You accuse me of dishonesty then
spew a whooper like that. Face it: not only have you failed to find any of
these lies you allege of me, you just showed you are not adverse to spewing

You whine about others posting off topic... as you do

You accuse people of lying, yet fail to show evidence

Read the topic if you are capable, but you are not. This

These 121 posters have the same thing to say about why Michael
Glasser AKA Snit, Rhino Plastee, and other nyms are so repulsive:
And no, they are not figments of Steve Carroll's imagination as
Snit alledges, they are garnered from actual Usenet quotes:
1- Adam Kesher: "Steve, IIRC Sandman's website has a member area
and a login. If you forget your password, you can ask it to
e-mail it to you, and a bot will send an e-mail.
*That* is the e-mail Snit got from Sandman's website, and yes
he's that fucked in the head and starved for attention that he'd
claim it to be an e-mail from Sandman himself. So, don't get
sucked into his little circus.
The e-mail, in this particular instance, did probably originate
from Sandman.net."
2- Alan Baker: "People's perceptions of you are *formed* by
behaviour and not withstanding your occasional on topic posts, I
wish you'd leave too. Please note that despite the amazing
silliness that is Edwin, I have never made the same wish of him."
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/msg/4a7c3ebf3fc10221
3- Andrew J. Brehm: "You are not flamed because you speak the
truth, you are flamed because you are a hideous troll and keep
disrupting the newsgroup."
4- AZ Nomad: "The fact that you routinely change your headers to
weasel out of killfiles proves that you're an asshole."
5- Andy/news/nospam: "Why do you keep these things up, Snit? Why
not just let them go away and show how responsible a member of
CSMA you are? You could show your enemies up by being better than
then, rise above the low level you so obviously dislike.
Anything, just stop...."
6- B.B.: "Does the From: header contain the string "Snit"? If
yes, then troll. Otherwise, maybe. Dunno why I had my KF on you
set to expire, but it's fixed now."
7- bobinnv: "I learned some time ago how much better this group
can be if you kill file Snit. I have never understood why more
people don't do the same.."
8- Bob S: "This has always been pretty much a free-for-all group,
but since Snit showed up, its become almost impossible to have a
decent discussion about anything.
The solution is to NOT REPLY TO SNIT. But for some reason, some
people just can't stop feeding him."
9- [b]unny: "snit makes me sad."
10- buzz off: "Snit is obviously mentally ill..."
11- chrisv (cola): "No, she called him "shit", and rightly so,
for they way he was so ignominiously birthed into a toilet at the
bus depot, and simply refused to die, despite repeated flushes.
It's now far too late to *flush* him, but we can still *plonk*
him..."
12- C Lund: "Snit is not my responsibility. Maybe it's time for
you to learn how to use your kill-filter. I am assuming, of
course, that your Usenet browser has a kill-filter."
13- Code Orange: "Then why post it? What need is there for you to
"win" an argument? They don't like you, you don't like them. Why
must you keep this up? What results are you expecting?"
14- Dawg Tail: "You've already apologized for having already
misread what I had previously written. What makes you think that
you're correctly understanding what I'm writting now. You've got
a history of reading into things what you wanted people to have
said instead of what they really said.
I suggest you get over this limitation of yours. It's making you
look foolish."
Dawg Tail: "PC advocates, Mac advocates, Linux advocates. Almost
all of them are making similar claims about Snit. When you have
so many diverse people who share a common perception where do you
think the problem lies? With Snit? Or almost everyone else? The
answer doesn't require an advanced degree to figure out."
15- Dave Fritzinger: "Snit, please go away. Get a life, meet a
woman, do something, but please, please, please, GO AWAY!!!!"
16- Donald L McDaniel: "Jesus, snit. You're a teacher. I thought
you knew what a metaphor was, and could recognize one when it was
presented to you. I guess I had too much confidence in you."
17- ed: "snit, you continually amaze me with how much of a liar
and loser you are. you may notice a semi-regular pattern with me
where i stop responding to your posts for stretches at a time,
then start up responding as if you were a normal person. i
suppose it's tough for the magnitude of your 'loserdom' to stick,
so it loses some of it's sharpness when i stop responding to you.
you almost always start responding back in a semi normal way, but
inevitably degenerate. it's once again that time. i can only ask
that you pass my condolences to your wife and unborn child for
having to put up with such a dishonest fool as yourself. (well,
if your wife is a loser as well, just pass those condolences to
the rug-rat to be; if not, double condolences to her). "
18- Edwin: "You've got to be out of your mind, Snit. You're the
worst troll this group has ever seen. You're a liar and a forger,
and you've almost destroyed this group single-handedly. For you
to post a list of out of context arguments, and lies, and
forgeries about your enemies labled as a "peace effort" has to be
one of the craziest stunts you've pulled. It's all about your
sick need for attention, your need to be center stage at all
times. You'd publicly eat dog turd if you thought it would make
people look at you."

coming to CSMA I have seen in the past year a real hatred among
people, besides the typical Mac vs. Windows typical argument. I
feel that it is like being in a room of really young children
trying there best to best the other person. The one common thing
among all of this seems to be you. I hate to be like this, but
facts are facts. You seem to be in the middle of a great
percentage of arguments. CSMA has become less about Macs and more
about "look everybody, I think he lied". Is there no end then all
this picking at each other on such a personal level. CSMA has
always been al little adversarial but you have personally crank
it up to the point that this place is no longer fun.
Congratulations on stopping CSMA and making this place your own
personal circus."
22- George Graves: "Jason. You have started an argument with the
Snit (AKA Michael Glasser), this should not be done. He will
drive you crazy with his twisted logic, his deep-rooted need to
be ALWAYS right at any cost. He will move goalposts, set up
strawmen, and bore you into submission with his endless
pedanticism. The only way to engage him is to hit and run. NEVER
engage him, it's a futile, empty procedure that will only anger
you and feed him. Take my advice and STAY AWAY!"
23- gimme_this_gimme_t...@yahoo.com: "Hitting the vodka tonight
Snit?"
24- Greycloud: "You really shouldn't lie like that. Everyone else
notices that you are not honest and you have no honor."
25- Henry Flam: "Who gives a damn about this shit? Snit, once in
a while, I make the mistake in thinking that that you are
starting to make sense in your posts; I tend to agree with your
politics. Then you post stuff like this and it destroys any
respect that I have for you."
26- Heywood Mogroot: "*plonk*"
27- Jamie Hart (cola): "It seems that since you are unable to
offer support for your statements, you're reduced to personal
attacks on me. Incidentally, anyone reading this post can see
that I have offered no straw men, and have only asked you to
explain how the things you state as facts can be true. I'm really
sorry that you're taking this attitude, the topic is an
interesting one and I thought you might have some insights. I've
snipped the rest, since you dislike long posts and avoid
answering any of the questions I asked by saying everything was
just repeated. "
28- Jason McNorton: "You're one of the many, many paranoid people
on usenet that should be confined most likely. You sit there and
refresh your screen endlessly. You post the same nonsense over

29- JEDIDIAH (cola): "You're simply full of shit."
30- Jeff B.: "Yo, Snit. We're not pals. I think you're a git."
31- Jeff Hoppe: "This is a Macintosh Advocacy newsgroup. Not a
12-step recovery plan. Your medical problems or conditions won't
help me achieve a greater understanding of my Mac. In fact, it
detracts from it and those kinds of discussions have no place in
a newsgroup such as this."
32- Jesus: "Really, Snit. It's annoying. What are you
accomplishing besides being annoying? Is that your goal?"
33- Jim Lee Jr.: "Snit, read the thread's title, is Bush
mentioned in it? You (and Carroll) ought to learn to stay on
topic and not hijack threads."
34- Jim Polaski: "Why is it that nearly every thread you're
involved in seems like it turns into some tit-for-tat, dozens of
responses to OT things and garbage?"
35- Jim Richardson (cola): "And yet again, Snit runs away, rather
than actually provide evidence for his claims. Par for the course
I suppose."
36- Joey Jojo Junior Shabadoo: "and Snithead has even farther to
fall - in a few weeks he'll be out on the street after midnight,
yelling at passersby 'sucky sucky, $2...'"
37- John C. Randolph: "You're nothing but a troll yourself. What
are you bitching about?"
38- JohnOfArc (cola): "I'm not sure "troll" does it justice- more
like a black hole! But hey, if we all promise to never again even
entertain an unkind thought re Apple, will you take it back and
lock it up? Please??"
39- John Q. Public: "I have not been bothered to read Snit's
postings since I figured out who he is. I don't bother to filter
his posts, I just consider the source and skip to the next one
when I see his name."
40- John Slade: "I don't get posts from Snit. I wouldn't be
shocked that he has some kind of disorder. He made up stuff about
being a computer repairman and teacher. He's just plain loony and
best ignored. Let him deal with his disorder by medication. He's
here to do one thing, get attention from people. He says the
crazy stuff just to get a reaction.
You say you like to beat him over the head. Well that's what he's
counting on, he says stuff he knows isn't true in hopes to get a
rise out of people like you. Ignore him, you won't regret it."
John Slade: "Snit, you have a enough problems as it is without
adding drinking booze to the list. How the hell did you manage to
get out of my killfile? Oh well back into the cage you go, PLONK."
41- Josh McKee: "Snit, I assume there was some point to this
posting? Because I certainly cannot find it."
42- K E: "I haven't read this board for awhile but I see that
even though the trolls still roam free at least the worst troll
of the lot is mostly being ignored by readers on this bb. If the
few stragglers that keep replying to him would just stop
responding to Snit at all this place could be worth coming back
to. There's a good chance he'll pack up and take his trolling to
more fertile ground."
43- Kelsey Bjarnason (cola): "Funny how you simply don't bother
reading the posts that rip your entire thesis to bleeding gobbets
of putrid excrescence. Maybe some day you'll learn how to support
your position, instead of sticking your fingers in your ears and
humming, hoping it'll all go away."
44- Ku Karlovsky (cola): "You repeatedly chastise others for ad
hominem attacks while in the same sentence make your own ad
hominem attacks.You make silly claims and then avoid the subject
of your silliness. You're a liar and a hypocrite and you always
have been."
45- Lars Trager: "Yes, you are stupid."
46- Lefty Bigfoot: "Okay, I tried to put up with it for a long
time, but the few times you post something worth reading just
aren't worth it anymore. *plonk*"
47- Liam Slider (cola): "Maybe he's responding to the fact you've
been an annoying little fuckwit lately. You started out with the
pretense of trying to be fair, but lately all there is from you
in COLA is trashtalk about Linux and you acting every bit the troll."
48- Linonut (cola): "Snit is a Tholenoid."
"Indeed. Snit may be the first retraction of my general killfile
amnesty. The volume of cavilling, whining, foot-stomping,
back-tracking, goal-post shifting, and petulance generated by
that effete candy-ass beggars belief".
49- Lloyd Parsons: "Well, I don't know if Oxford is the most
cretinous, I would think that would be reserved for Snit! ;-)"
50- Mark Kent (cola): "The problem with someone like Mr Glasser
is the same as it is with Mr Wong, even if he were to be honest
now, it would be impossible to determine where the honesty starts
and the usual dishonesty ends. In my primary school, one of the
teachers was very keen on proverbs, and I recall her going over
the "cry wolf" story. Mr Glasser could "cry wolf" over and over
now, and I would not come to help him with his sheep, because I
do not know any way of determining if he's ever telling the
truth, or indeed, if he ever has."
51- Mayor of R'lyeh: "The fact is that he's probably pulling it
to this post since its all about him and he managed to make me
think about him today. A friend of mine has a toddler. I went
over to her house and videotaped her kid doing a bunch of cute
toddler stuff then burned a DVD of it for her. While we were
watching the DVD her kid got mad. He got mad because we quit
making him the center of attention and made that kid on the tv
the center of attention. He even ran up to the tv and tried to
block our view of it. That's how Snit lives his whole life."
52- Michelle Ronn: "The real topic here is that one someone
refutes your "facts", you run away and ignore them. Refuting your
"facts" is easily done in this case. I did it, and you ignored it. "
53- Mike: "Nonsense. I never see you "advocate" anything. All I
see you doing is engage in endless semantic arguments with
everyone. You're the TholenBot of CSMA. BTW, that's *not* a
compliment!"
54- Mike Dee: "I will no longer accuse you of lying here. Instead
I can only say that you are a complete and delusional kook that
happens to inhabit CSMA for the time being. That you are unaware
of how deranged you actually behave further reinforces this
notion. Please seek professional help."
55- mmoore321: "Snit is a human car-accident and we are all
rubbernecking. We know it is bad form, but yet strangely curious.
Treat him the same way, look but just keep moving on."
56- Mojo: "Actually, these facts piss everybody off because they
are off-topic, unnecessarily confrontational, extremely boring
and clearly show that you are crying out for attention."
57- Mr. Blonde: "Lastly, I can't help but comment on the fact
that your obsession with Sandman has actually grown since you
claimed to KF him. Killfilling someone generally implies you're
ignoring that person, yet you piggyback onto virtually every
reply to him here and and check his website's validation status
more often than most people check their e-mail. These are not the
actions of a mentally balanced individual."
58- MR_ED_of_Course: "Seriously, spend half a day at any
pre-school or kindergarten and see if the kids there can't teach
you a thing or two about social behavior."
59- Muahman: "Ummm, dude you post 1000 posts a day. 999 of them
are trolls, if anyone here has issues it's not me."
60- Nashton/Nasht0n: "Oh for crying out loud, if I wasn't
convinced that snit is a total loser, and I rarely call people
losers, I certainly am now. Why bother responding to his
stupidities anyway?"
61- New Bee: "Honest and honorable? You? You've either got a wry
sense of humor, or you're completely nuts. Either way you're just
a waste of time, and you've done more than anybody to make this
group a cesspool. Then you revel in wallowing in your own filth."
62- Not Important: "I get this mental image of you and a sibling
as children in the back seat of the family car saying:
Mom, 'snits' touching me ... and you responding much as you do
now ... I'm not touching you, you're touching me! The problem is
that by now you should've grown out of that type of poke and
complain interaction with others. But, of course, you've haven't
learned how to interact with others in a more 'constructive' and
mutually beneficial manner even now."
63- OldCSMAer: "What's he been doing? Am I going to be sorry I
killfiled him?"
64- OldSage: "What drives me nuts is your unrelenting ability and
desire to argue on the head of a pin about the most trivial of
things."
65- Oxford: "If you are using MT-Newswatcher:

Then "Refilter Articles"...
Bam! No more boring, pointless bickering about nothing.

66- Patrick Nihill: "I mean, honestly, who would you rather

matter, Snit, for whom the work 'troll' seems so painfully
inadequate?"
67- Pawel Wojciak: "Jesus Christ, snit... <plonk> "
68- PC Guy: "Forget it Snit, you're a waste of time. For someone
who talks about everyone else not being "honest and honorable"
you appear to be the least honest and honorable of anyone here."
69- Peter: "I've never felt the need to use the filters in
Newswatcher but I thought Id try the Kill this Author.. option
with Snit. Ten seconds later and he's gone! Amazing."
70- Peter Bjorn Perlso: "Plonked for 60 days. Now stfu and take
your argument with sandman into the private room."
71- Peter Hayes: "True, but that removes Snit completely, and
someti... err..... occasiona.... errrrr..... once in a blue moon
he has something useful to say."
72- Peter Jensen (cola): "Where has he ever said that they were
not different windowing environments? Message-ID, please.
Experience has told me not to trust you on anything without
backing evidence."
73- Peter Kohlmann (cola): "Snot is a hideous troll. Nobody is as
dishonest as that piece of unadultered garbage. There are csma
posters even more stupid than Snot. Oxford comes to mind. There
are certainly other csma posters who lie nearly as much. But no
others are so intent on trolling in whatever way possible as Snot"
74- Phil Earnhardt: "You're only interested in trying to get
superficial snipes and extrapolate inappropriate conclusions."
75- Rapskat (cola): "For instance, your sig you reference a long
standing war you have going with some person from csma. It's like
you single out persons to target your attentions upon and then
continuously berate them with constant barbs and goads to
perpetuate their acrimonious responses, which in turn you respond
in kind, etc. ad infinitum. Above all things, your affinity for
Macs and your overbearing pompous nature aside, this is what
convinces me that your primary purpose for frequenting this and
other groups is to troll."
76- RichardK: "Just killfile him already."
77- Rick (cola): "Snit, you are a liar. And an ignorant one. You

80- Roy Culley (cola): "You appear to be in the latter category.

81- Sandman: "He is by far the most killfiled person in the
-HISTORY- of csma. I've never seen someone so disliked, almost
hated, in a news group before. He has the ability to turn just
about any person against him in just a few posts. On usenet,
trolls do this daily, but the funny part with Michael is that I
actually think he DOESN'T consider himself be a troll - damn what
-EVERYONE ELSE- is calling him. Obviously they are wrong. Only
Tholen himself can match this behaviour."

see he's soooooooo well adjusted."
85- Steve Carroll: "The only things we are sure about Snit is
that he has:
* a monumental reading comprehension problem.
* nym-shifted numerous times to avoid kill-files.
* built too many straw-men to count... some, the size of small
cities.
* been labeled a disingenuous liar/troll(or worse) by the vast
majority.
* used numerous sock-puppets and admitted to it.
* stolen IDs and admitted to it.
* gotten booted off by ISPs for his behavior.
* twisted more context than all csma posters combined.
* made more unsupported accusations than all csma posters combined.
* virtually no life outside of csma."
86- Steve Mackay: "Just killfile Snit, the dishonest piece of

disingenuous quote mangling to portray the argument in your

92- Tim Crowley: "I don't know - I think you might have more

97- TravelinMan: "I still can't figure out what's wrong with

Let's talk about the truth, something you so readily loathe. 103
of those quotes were maintained by CSMA Moderator, the remaining
18 were continued by others. Thus, your accusations of me being
a nutcase, a stalker, a psycho are unfounded.
Speaking of creepy, you were the one that originated this post:
libelling Mr. Schestowitz with falsified posting regarding his
alleged gender transformation surgery and alleged homosexual
marriage to Mark Kent.
It was you who kept libelling me, alleging that I am a homosexual:
Similarly, you insinuated the same of Mr. Terry Porter:
It was you, who nymshifted using many female nyms, to seed this
newsgroup with your anti-Linux poison agenda.
So who is creepy? Who is the nut case? Who is the stalker? It
certainly isn't me.

You have posted enough clues to indicate it was you. Similar to
Al Capone, there was sufficient evidence linking him to crimes,
but insufficient for a court-of-law conviction. Later, the US
Justice Department convicted him of income tax evasion and sent
him to prison.
May you share a similar fate.

Why haven't you mentioned the 235 MS patents violated by Linux/OSS software?
And don't doubt for a second that MS could absolutely destroy financially
any number of Linux vendors just by pressing their claims. The deadbeat
Linux "community" rarely pays for their software, so these vendors have
little cash to defend themselves.
