Apparently Roy Schestowtiz also has a giganews account that he trolls from.
He slipped up yesterday and posted a couple of messages from that ISP.

He is back on demon.net (Mark Kent's machine via SSH) today.

0wned!

Yes. It's been proven that many of the "advocates" here post under multiple
accounts. It's to give the "illusion" that linux is more popular than it
really is. But the lowly 0.6% marketshare stat speaks for itself. No matter
how they try to spin it.

However, somebody has to clue the clueless in on what the professional
SPAMMER is up to.

Someday you will be thanking me as well as a couple of others who have
Schestowitz all figured out.

Roy Schestowitz pretends to be just a person interested in advocating Linux
when in fact he is really just a paid spammer who is using this group for
his own self serving profit motivated needs.

His goal is to have his name, websites etc splattered all over the Internet
and you guys are allowing him to do it.

Why stop him?
The more he talks, the worse he makes your side (Linux) of the debate look.

Roy Schestowitz is the quintessential Linux dweeb.
He is the poster child for the Linux Zealot and then some.

Gary's boyfriend.

For what it's worth, the server that I post from (when outside the University)
uses a variety of routes, over which I haven't control. There are multiple
ISPs.

If the trolls wanted to show multiple routes, they wouldn't have a hard time
showing that I sometimes post from the Manchester server (this morning for
example), Google Groups (about 2 weeks ago) and a couple of others, always
under the same name. 4-5 years ago I posted as "Roy S Schestowitz".

Man, Roy sounds like a real Microsoft. Except it is Microsoft that has
advertising plastered all over the internet, including on many "Linux"
sites.

They come here to this backwater pub called COLA and try to drown out
Roy with a mudslide of lies, bullshit, insult, and innuendo. Can you
believe it?

Incidentally, in proper gangster argot, it is "youse guys".

That's the funny thing. They want, apparently, to badger him until he
loses his cools and starts saying rash things, to which they can point
later, and say "See? See? What did I tell ya?".

I think there's still room for improvement in the quality of Roy's
posts, and I would urge him to continue refining his selection and
commenting process until it is logically unassailable.

They just try to create civil wars. If they can't drive people away using
insults, repulsion and threats, then they try to turn people against one
another. They resort to slander too. In the past, I contradicted and rebutted
the slander, but it turned out to be just a case of asking for more slander
and it slowed down the pace of real discussions, i.e. it effectively turned
attention in _a Linux group_ from technical things to people's lives.

It is best to filter out the trolls. That's how it becomes very trivial to
ignore them. You can't really ignore something you can't see.

By behaving like pigs, the trolls/Microsoft partners/shills/whatever hope to
drag me into the same mudbath with them, in order to demonstrate misbehaviour
and such. They try to provoke for impolite responses.

When I subscribed to this in NG back in 2005 I was only participating in long
threads that had invaded other technical groups like the SUSE NG (Gary Stewart
invaded by crossposting with inflammatory pseudonyms). I replied to trolls
very politely at the time (no filters needed to be used outside COLA). Now all
I ever get is personal attack, but for what? Am I attacking the trolls?

The libel is all new and I think it all began with the castration stories that
Gary started spreading and then linking to. Other people can tell similar
stories about false rumours being planted and used against them.

Feel free to listen to the troll (not you personally), but do so at your own
risk. When I watch the newsgroup from Google Groups (no filters) I see some
sort of a parallel universe where I am claimed to be a spammer, where I am
claimed to be profiting (I hardly make ends meet) and where I'm characterised
as some form of alien human being, which is amusing because I have a very
ordinary lifestyle. Last week I even won a trophy for sports that I do... :-)

That is why I have stopped replying to Snit. I let myself get so angry at

Apparently you are now stalking Roy and Mark and engaged in net abuse
on behalf of big corporation.

This is how low micoshaft funded asstrotufers have fallen to.

These Micoshaft Fraudsters have nothing to say about
Linux advocy so they resort to stalking comp.os.linux.advocacy usenet
posters and net abuse as a means to promote micoshaft corporation.

What a stinker.

The authorities are as slow to react as usual to this kind of net abuse.

You should give up working for big corporations as a fraudster and
asstroturfer. Try Linux instead and relax!

We don't care about your responses Schestowitz, but this thread has sure

People just don't like you Roy.
It has nothing to do with your paranoid hate of Microsoft.

You are just one of those people that, well, people just don't like.

You cry about COLA and USENET.

So what is your excuse for other boards, blogs etc, like digg where the
people over there react the same exact way to your bull shit?

Are all of those people out to get you as well?

Come on Roy do you think people are that stupid?

The only way you are posting from multiple ISP's is if you have accounts
with them, or you are SPONGING off people who have accounts with those
ISPs.

I say you are doing the latter because you are too cheap to pay for 2
Internet accounts.

So you've found another person who let's you SSH into their btinternet
account.
BTinternet uses gignews as their server.

Wonderful.

When on earth are you going to get a real job and earn your own keep for a
change, Roy Schestowitz?

Great excuse. Too bad that this isn't how usenet and the internet works. It
doesn't matter /where/ you post from. In order for your posts to show up on
Giganews you must first have an account with Giganews and actually login to
that account. Just because you post from a different computer and/or IP
address will in no way cause your posts to suddenly start appearing from a
different NNTP provider.

Quite ridiculous actually. "Multiple routes" is completely meaningless. When
posting from any machine there's a greater than zero chance that your
traffic may take a different route depending on the network traffic at the
time. Regardless of where you post from, you still need to actually login to
the news server in order to post.

I'd expect anyone with an IQ of over 60 to realize this. What is your IQ?

Interesting that you didn't say anything about the Steve in the NY Times
Article post shilling himself.

Oh, yea that was an anti Microsoft post so you have to leave it alone in
order to spread the word.

The double standard in COLA hard at work again.

FWIW, the person you are replying to is correct.

I contacted both demon.net and Giganews and they both said that there is no
way to post from their servers without having an account.

IOW they don't use each other's servers.

Roy's excuse is laughable and anyone with even the most elementary
knowledge of how ISPs work knows that.

What Roy is doing is either using two different accounts, 3 if you count
his Manchester University server, OR he is SSHing through people who
already have these accounts.


So once again, Roy Schestowitz is lying through his teeth and you Linux
boobs are falling for it, or in the case of the more intelligent Linux
advocate, ignoring it.

"His poor choice of words" - Is that some sort of euphemism for excusing an
obvious lie? Can we officially put you down "*on the record*" as agreeing
and believing that when you post from a different computer/IP-address that
"multiple routes" would cause your post to orginate from a different NNTP
server, even if you don't have an account with them.

Is this what you believe happened? Do you actually agree and think that
because someone posts from a different computer that their messages suddenly
get posted from a different provider.

I suggest reading up on how the net actually works. I don't particularly
give a damn what his "choice of words" are because the essence of what he
wrote is pure jibberish and nonsense.

If you actually do believe his story then may I suggest you do a bit of
research on basic networking and then think about it for a while. Provided
that you have the IQ to do so :)

You are talking to Liarnut. His mode of action to post stuff he found in
google that appears to him to be relevant and when its pointed out its
garbage he gets all self righteous and talks about "mistakes" and then
killfiles you. He is a known loony to most of the real OSS developers
from what I can gather. He has recently taken a turn for the worst and
openly shills Roy's nonsense. Only yesterday he likened a decent,
quality poster to a dig turd. His apology later doesn't alter the facts
which clearly demonstrate his leanings and tendencies.

Well, the worthless troll "Moshe Flatfish Goldfarb" is already
no-record as (surprise, surprise) being on Quack's side of the
"censorship" issue - claiming that advocates are "censoring" the
fsckwitted, lying trolls like himself and Quack.

Yet, here the hypocrite whines that the advocates are "allowing" Roy
to do his thing, as if we *should* be, somehow, trying to censor Roy!

Hmmm. Something is funny, then. I can google in groups for
"lin...@bollsouth.nut" (which you will see in my headers), and I get

Compared to your single hit.

Your "spam" excuse just doesn't wash. You simply haven't posted more

And whattaya know? Now I get 5 hits on steve...@google.com.

So Roy Schestowitz you admit you have been sponging off of Mark Kent's

Roy - you are 100% correct, I have multiple usenet routes.

The "friel" person appears to be confusing IP routes with NNTP routes.
Few people really understand network layering.

Also, as you know, I have multiple DSL providers, so even outgoing
traffic can, and does, take a different ISP.

I'm sure you're right. Btw, on re-reading, I notice a slight error in
my remarks; I take feeds from 4 incoming plus 3 both-way servers, so
incoming traffic has 7 possible routes, outgoing has 3 possible routes
over 2 ISPs.

The reason is that there are sometimes outages on one usenet server or
another, so by combining incoming feeds as well as operating multiple
outgoing feeds, availability at my leafnode is actually higher than at
many commercial servers.

It is also barely possible that Moshe is attempting to

So let's get this straight. Roy Schestowitz is either a complete retard
(very likely) or he assumes that every "advocate" here is a complete
retard. This bullshite story makes no sense at all. According to the
Schestowitz troll because he sometimes posts from "outside the University"
his posts "use a variety of routes" and that's why his posts are suddenly
appearing from Giganews... and not demon.uk which he normally leaches off
of.

So according to the Schestowitz idiot, because someone posts from a
different location, the packets take a different route and suddenly "like
magic" a new account with Giganews automagically appears and his posts
originate from there. All without user intervention.

Silly me... I thought that in order to post from Giganews you had to first
have an account with Giganews.

And Roy Schestowitz spews the ridiculous nonsense and every advocate here
simply nods their heads and agrees. Yep... Schestowitz thinks that you
"advocates" are about as smart as a bag of turds because he spews this
nonsense and expects you all to believe it.

Roy uses my leafnode server.

My leafnode server posts outgoing messages via 3 different news servers,

I have more than one ISP, so the IP routes taken to these NNTP servers
can also vary.

Furthermore, Roy has more than one route into my system, because of my
use of multiple ISPs.

The reason my setup is like this is so that if any one or even two of
the news servers are down, then service is still maintained for myself,
Roy and others who also use the system.

I know that the Windows world doesn't really understand high availability

The troll's as dumb as a sack of shit. It's no idea what leafnode is, nor how

Kier will figure out a way to deny it.
He could be a decent Linux advocate if he would just take the rose colored
glasses off.
He doesn't have to agree with everything anyone says, but at least use some
common sense.

Yea.

Roy's page getting hacked is another beauty.

He was told this months ago and his arrogance prevented him from looking
into it.

So much for Linux's superiority when in the hands of an inept user, like

Probably.

You know something, I don't care who works for whom and who posts from what
OS and so forth.
I really don't.

However, when a person takes such a rabid stand against certain principles
and spews this nonstop in a discussion group and at the same time has the
gall to attack those who have differing opinions, then that person is open
to attack.

In the case of Mark Kent, as anyone can see, he is guilty of doing the very
things he so rabidly posts in COLA about.

Right down to his "Intellectual Property " quote.

Mark Kent is indeed, the Elliot Spitzer of COLA.
