Oh, you should see Gary on Digg. yesterday, one of the regulars there saw Gary,
checked his profile and told me something along the lines of "Oh my god,
you've got some crazy stalker". More people there have begun recognising very
well (some have known it for months) that Microsoft's shills have moved to
Digg. Timmy, Gary and 2 more people from COLA (I'm not entirely sure which is
which) are attacking me there (libel included), modding all my comments down,
possibly bury my submissions, and rarely attack some other people and spread
COLA-type FUD. They brought COLA culture right into Digg and the UNIX/Linux in
Digg has gone from highly-lively to almost vacant (there are Digg competitors
like FSDaily). Almost no Linux stories make the front page anymore (a decline
of about 80%), so Microsoft gets its way. Microsoft is also the advertiser in
Digg now, with flashy annoying ads that piss lots of people off.
Anyway... I've gone off topic.
