Granted, I could see an individual under certain
circumstances trying to wriggle out of spamfilters --
there's one character in sci.physics who has mutated
(again), but his character soon gives him away, and it's
very transparently obvious what he's doing (but then,
he's a very transparently silly sort) -- but I don't see
certain characteristics of Roy that would predispose him
to want to do so.

It's far easier just to wait for the stupid trolls; they
wander in here frequently.  A bit like alt.atheism; most of
the more reputable theist types avoid posting to it like
the plague (there's probably a lurker or two in there),
and probably because they've seen what alt.atheism and
talk.atheism do to their dumber brethren.  (No, we didn't
rip out part of the anatomy of Brice Wellington -- from
either his head, or his nether regions.  :-)  He came in
that way. :-) )

So here, we get the dumber Windows-loving types.
I won't mention any names but they include the ones
who think Vista is absolutely gorgeous, for example.
(Compared to some Linux desktops, it's a hunk o' junk, IMO.
But then, what do I know?  I've got a stock Gnome desktop,
no transparency, maybe gradated desktop that looks like I'm
landing on a blue planet at most.  I consider the rest of
it eye candy, though the XGL "cube" shows some promise if
they can integrate everything into a nice piece of work.
Unfortunately, the "cube" only has 4 usable sides; I'd
prefer a regular extruded polygon, and I'm not sure what
we as an industry (Windows or Linux) should do long term
with 3-D gaming.  The current trend apparently is to put
Internet ads on billboards -- e.g. in racing games.
But I digress.)

Oh, of course it's Roy Schestowitz.  It couldn't possibly
be the more than 99,999 other trolls in, among other
locales, 24hr.helpdesk and alt.os.windows-xp, now,
could it?  :-P

Linux.  An OS which actually, unlike certain other offerings, works.
