I don't know why he doesn't do it properly if he's going to do it at
all.
Since it doesn't seem to get through that tinfoil hat of yours, I'll
explain again:
Hundreds of posters have filtered the "News" posts because they flood the
NG. As a result many don't get to see the links in question : many, of
course, do see them in their original context - on the Linux news sites
which went to the work to source them.
A properly done digest "advocates" because those of us who have this
SPAM filtered can see at a glance, and in ONE post all the links
*without* Roy's misquotes and insane rantings.
