It's rare but it does happen on occasion.

Most Linux advocates are good, honest people who acknowledge the advantages
as well as the faults of Linux and in short have a realistic opinion of
Linux.

Then there is comp.os.linux.advocacy where the Linux loons have their heads
buried and can't come to grips with even the slightest possibility that
Linux may have some serious problems.

They are also highly paranoid and apparently terrified of Microsoft for
some reason.

Nuggets of truth?
You're kidding, right?
With Roy Schestowitz and Rex Ballard it's like corn in your ****.
IOW, the **** usually far outweighs the corn.

Hardly.

Ballard posts more corn in one pile of **** than any human could
in a month.

Unlike you - a troll with a chip on your shoulder who manually
creates so much ****e aka anti-Roy spam that no-one, that's
right, NO-ONE wants to read, that you've single-handedly reduced
the appeal and effectiveness of a newsgroup.

Please, go create another group and move to it. If you really
have a voice someone wants to listen to, you'll get them moving
over to it.

You can get treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder you know!

Paranoid? Apparently terrified? ROTFLOL!

hacking contest

Contestant overcomes bout of 'hacktile dysfunction'

CanSecWest A laptop running a fully patched version of
Microsoft's Vista operating system was the second and final
machine to fall in a hacking contest that pitted the security of
Windows, OS X and Ubuntu Linux. With both a Windows and Mac
machine felled, only the Linux box remained standing following
the three-day competition.

Debian security is unsurpassed.
