Roys news service should be done via a mailing list then : not a public
news group. if all NGs had their Roy then they would shut down pretty
damn quick.
As for the rest of the dribbling hero worship : yuch. Get a room.
I'm not sure I've seen any of these "wintrolls". Could you define one?
Ive only seen balanced argument against painting Windows blacker than it
is, and people who acknowledge the many failings that Linux has. That is
not "wintrolling" : that is NOT being an ass licking fanboi as you
appear to be, "Bill".
