Hello Mike,
You have just experienced the wrath of a crazy Linux zealot,
William "Filters" Poaster.
He along with Roy Schestowitz and Peter Kohlmann are the world's worst
Linux advocates and comp.os.linux.advocacy is NOT by any stretch of the
imagination, a Linux advocacy group.
You are doing well with your site.
Find some other Linux groups to post in and get out there and help people
learn Linux.
At any rate, you really don't wish to be associated with this group nor
the people in it because real Linux advocates will not take you seriously
if they discover you have been hanging around COLA.
Best of luck to you.
