I think we would rather have no such "mysterious sockmaster". When it
imitates them, they imitate us. Don't play their dirty games which involve
fake subject lines (fabricated anti-Linux stories) and stalker/imposter
tricks.
They can carry on trying to put labels on people. Everything I post I have
faith in.
BTW, I agree with your assessment. Not only does the US government beg for
alienation over here; Microsoft joins it. For both, lockin or dependencies
are involved. NSA<->Microsoft<->Hollywood<->Energy<->Army. It's predatory
and suppressive imperialism. No more, no less.
