Oh, so it's allright for him to hold up his google ranking as some sign of
popularity, but when it's pointed out how poor a source that is, then you
complain that the people that count don't use google.
Nice logic there.

You would vote for each and every one of his messages he posts? Right.

If you look at Slashdot or Digg, a lot. Just not for Roy.

Different dynamics. Those are places people go to for other reasons, not
to post comments.

I'm not sure where you're getting that. I've posted a lot more than 9709
messages. According to google i've posted more than 26,000.

The big difference is that i'm not holding my "rating" up as proof of
popularity. I don't give a shit. Roy obviously does, as he likes to crow
about abysmal achievments.
