Mark is strange. He reads selectively and contrary to whats staring him
in the face he makes proclamations at odds with all the evidence at
hand. In that respect he is as bad, if not worse, than Pete KÃhlmann.
He sees himself as some arch deacon of Linux advocacy, yet all he does
is kiss Roy's ass and (incorrectly) label people as "Wintrolls".
He appears to have little, if anything, to do with the computer business
and comes across as such an intellectual lightweight that I often wonder
if he isn't a reverse troll in the pay of Microsoft.

He hasn't. He posts the odd "me too" reply in order to schill Roy's
rubbish, but remains remarkably silent where true advocacy and realistic
appraisal of Linux's strengths and weaknesses are involved.
