Yep.
Not to mention using the potential companies resources to further his
addictation to Linux advocacy and posting tens of thousands of messages to
comp.os.linux.advocacy.
That's how he ended up getting kicked off of Manchester Universities
network and had to scramble to find a new ISP which just coincidental
happens to be the same on Mark Kent uses.
I'll bet Roy Schestowitz is actually proxying through Mark Kent's system
somehow.
The first question that comes to mind is what kind of person spends 24/7
posting to a newsgroup?
And that will get the ball rolling and Roy Schestowitz's resume' rolling
right out the door behind it.
IOW there won't even be a second question....
