I haven't read too many of your more recent posts, so I'm not sure if
you've improved in this respect, Roy, but in the past, I've found you would
often take quotes from a relatively neutral (Linux-vs-Windows wise) article
and turned it into a pro-Linux one (or an anti-Microsoft one). Accusing
people of not telling the full story seems a bit hypocritical.
See the subject line of this post for an example of emphasizing the
anti-Microsoft side, instead of a more neutral "[News] Web browsers may
reveal all your passwords to the world".
