Agreed. I worked for several financial firms back in the 1980s and let's just
say there was quite a lot of insider stuff going on. I had nothing
to do with trading etc. I was a tech in the glass house.

Yes it is, only some people have an advantage, legal or otherwise.

I agree for the flame bait types and vulgar people but I see some discussion
and pov that seem reasonable and deserve some counter arguments but they
are lumped into the troll bin simply because they may not agree with
everything Linux. IMHO that's not a good thing because it ends up portraying
Linux users as being narrow minded and not willing to reason.
I wouldn't waste time on proved trolls though. I have not been here long
enough to know who is who but I'm learning slowly, but surely.
