He uses Fool.com terms (e.g. Mr. Softie). Fool.com is a Microsoft-affiliated
site which is used to boost its image (Barron's is another). He drinks the
Kool-Aid. Ignore him.
Make no mistake. He's not independent. From an E-mail I received:

hi,
i just happened to notice that you spent some text debunking my old 'friend'
bill weisgerber last spring.
i went around with bill (& a host of other paid2post shills) on a nytimes
forum for over 3 years. despite being exposed for what/who they were/are,
they just would not quit their mindless pr firm hypenosys. at that time, the
nytimes was quite supportive of their charade. what a blight.
just anecdotal.
best regards,
<anon>

He must be one of those known shill that Microsoft unleashed onto the Web. He
has something to earn from this.
