Idiot.
What proportion of true Linux advocates post to the groups via Google?
I'd vote for Roy, if I could stomach using a Web browser as a
Newsreader.
And what proportion of readers bother to vote for *anything* anyway?
Take a look at the comments sections of the likes of IMDB or
Amazon. Considering the huge number of people that must research those
items, there's usually a surprisingly small number of comments.
I notice *your* rating is not exactly a shining star of popularity,
Mr. Fudenbusch. Three stars and only 66 ratings out of 9709 messages =
*0.6%*!
That's not abysmal, it's chronic.
Oh and don't even bother checking mine, I would hope you're smart
enough to understand that Google associates profiles with Email addys,
and that both spam@xxxxxxx and uce@xxxxxxx (the two addys I've used to
post here with) are shared among a lot of other posters.

I'll go with the 99.4% ... and say Aye.
