To be fair to him, he can't really twist the subject. That would
require understanding the subject. He didn't understand what Roy wrote.
He didn't understand my response to that. And he hasn't understood any
of the following posts.
Par for the course for him. If we are lucky, maybe the chrisv forger
will start answering for him--then we might see something actually
sensible with chrisv's name attacked.

This is advocacy by showing that linux is just as bad as Microsoft.
I can see why people want to switch for something just as bad.

Well, Fedora 9 did not get great reviews.
Check Distro Watch.
I know, COLA now has issues with all the reviewers.
You think they can actually get it together in 10?
But I do have to say. At least Fedora makes an effort
to improve.

It all depends on the roll of the dice.
Will your random collection of spare parts like the next OS that comes along.
I can try the next Ubuntu gratis. You can't do the same for the next Windows.
Nevermind the fact that Microsoft will do everything it can to make that
next version of Windows or Office a mandatory upgrade...
That's how they stay in business afterall.

Uh oh...I'm falling behind. If, by some stretch, noting the fact of

I'd sure like to see you detail those alleged four personal attacks
from me in "this branch of the thread", Timmy. I count _one_, which
came _after_ you resorted to personal attacks.
Poor Timmy.

The sooner you realise we *dont care* what schestowitz's mission is, or
your for that matter, and try and stay on topic in th group the better.
This is a group for discussing the pros and cons of linux versus other
operating systems. A comparison of linux to a negative view of windows
is a natural expression of that charter and should not be an invite for
loads of windows zealots to jump on the poster. This is the correct
place for that kind of post. If you want pro windows posts, go to a pro
windows newsgroup, which I'm sure will have negative comments about
linux in it.

Not true, at least not for me.
Example: the thread we were discussing Indexing and Windows etc.
I agree it's a bad thing.
I try to tell it like I see it.
I'll admit to a little creative latitude now and then though :)

Show me where I am posting pro-Windows posts?
There are also Microsoft hate groups which is where a good portion of
Schestowitz's posts belong.
Then there is the patent issues which are taking up a good portion of this
group as well and IMHO are a fringe issue.
Bottom line is if you or I stretch the goal posts enough, any topic can be
shoe horned into the *charter* of this group.
IOW let's talk about the landscaping at Redhat's Corporate Building vs the
Microsoft Campus.

Well, it does matter if so-and-so is a shill, it effects their credibility. No,
I don't believe Sheistowitz (sp) is a shill. It *does* matter what a persons
"mission" is, their slant. Everyone on usenet has a particular
slant, it's kinda the point. Even if you're discussing knitting needles,
you'll still have a POV.

Digg a little deeper and the only conclusion you will reach is Schestowitz
is not onl;y using automated scripts to post but that he MUST be getting
paid to do it.
A couple of people have offered me some evidence of who is sponsoring his
spew but I am still working out the facts.....
A quick look shows some very interesting material but I will not reveal
anything until I am 100 percent sure.
You can be assured that when I expose that SOB it will be big, and it will
be backed by verifiable facts and at that time COLA will be in total denial
because they, in general, are too stupid to see what he is up to.

Not needed.
Trust me, if even a 1/4 of the stuff people are emailing me is true, your
boy Roy Schestowitz will be sunk faster than the Titanic.
Roy's downfall is ICQ and the fact that he tends to piss people off who are
near to him and who know his operation.
A couple of well placed people in FSF, Canocle and Groklaw have confirmed
my suspicions.
This is going to be big, but like I said until I can confirm the facts if
indeed they are even factual, I will say no more.
I will leave you with a challenge, try and repost Roy's posts, all over the
net and tell me it is not automated.
He claims it is not.
Try it.
