You do of couse realise that you're giving the shills justification for
forging /us/...
Some of the nymshifing trolls appear to be the same guy, who is almost
certainly being 'compensated' by Microsoft. None of this is a concidence.
Microsoft is desparate for attention and hype while everyone who is in touch

hijacking of technology) will buy Microsoft a few more months of cashflow.
