Roy Schestowitz is a liar, plain and simple.
The reason Roy Schestowitz's digg rating is abysmal is because the people
at digg know he is a boring spammer and they react accordingly.
Unlike over here in COLA where the sheep follow the pied piper around.
Like I've said before, take Roy out of COLA and it doesn't take long
before the rest of the group figures out what he is up to.
COLA is just a little bit slow in that regard.
