Take a look at this story where the post was made.
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/18/031228&tid=222
and figure out how many posts are on topic.
And here's the post everybody was vying for..
The post is so ironical. Rarely have you seen or will see such a
contradictory post again on slashdot. Why?
Probability is 1 in 10 million. ;)
Now a little about the poster. I came across ObviousGuy sometime early
2003 through lingqi's journal(http://slashdot.org/~lingqi/journal).
ObviousGuy is/was in Japan.
But another point is that he was a foe of my friend(which friend? I
don't know)*. I read through his journal entries and all of it was
fine. Apparently, he was banned from slashdot for trolling(read his
journal entries).
About a year back, in a slashdot story, I wrote a comment about having
a wireless connection for your laptop( it was because of this reason-
http://slashdot.org/~ObviousGuy/journal/11292).
*Today I found out that not only is he a foe of a friend, but also a
friend of a friend.
The GNAA poster(s) ALMOST got the 10millonth post. It was the
9,999,999th post. Doesn't get any closer than that. Seeing how close
they got, it seems the gnaa poster(s) had already prepared in advance
for this.

If that gnaa poster had gotten it, it would have been a triumph for the
trolls on slashdot. Scary.
Maybe Malda could/should cut ObviousGuy some slack now.
