Oh look.
Yawn : another soliloquy from Mark about trolls. Yet again nothing about
Linux or his Linux experience. Just more bullshit about "proper debate"
in which, of course, he never plays any part. Mark, for some reason,
thinks that "debating" is kissing Roy's arse and reminding him how much
he appreciates his "NEWS" posts. This, of course, is not debating. It is
mutual masturbating.
