The [H]omer award for COLA Advocate of the Week:

| in addition to the outsourcing of jobs, let's not forget the
| considerable number of people (outside of microsoft) who left the
| computer field because they found it too much of an insult to their
| intelligence to be spending all their time supporting that which is
| always and by far the weakest link in any computer infrastructure --
| microsoft. i've watched over two decades the inverse relationship
| between prestigious jobs in the computer field vs. the growth of
| microsoft such that computer science now ranks near the bottom of the
| academic desires of college students. and who can blame them,
| working in computers has become synonymous with supporting microsoft
| and one can find a more rewarding and respectable career as janitor
| at the local sewage & wastewater treatment plant.

[1]: Posts via mail to news gateways are dropped by this server
and hence not included in the stats.
Other attention seeking posters may not appear as well.
[2]: Troll feeder %'age is (troll feeding posts / total posts) * 100
[3]: The poster 'quality' stats is based on:
a) quoting: 100 - %'age quoted
b) cross-posting: 100 - %'age cross-posted
c) number of direct followups posters articles get
d) troll feeding: 100 - 2.0 * %'age troll followups
e) 75 deducted for known trolls
f) for the humour impaired the quotes around 'quality'
are intended to convey they are not to be taken too
seriously :-)
