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

BearItAll <spam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(Explaining why Microsoft's battle against FOSS is a lost cause)

.----
| One of stopping points for not attacking the Linux community over 
| patents is the question 'Who do you take to task that will make a 
| difference'. Lets say MS attacked Redhat with their full army of 
| lawyers and in the ensuing battle Redhat simply ran out of steam for 
| no other reason than they ran out of money fighting the case. 
| 
| But then what happens to Linux? Well actually nothing much. I'm not 
| saying Redhat is a small fish, but it is only one distributer. The 
| users of Redhat can carry on using it, all of the other distros can 
| carry on. Absolutely anyone can still pick up the Linux base and make 
| a distribution out of it. Plus of cause not every country is subject 
| to American laws, getting rid of Linux is not a battle anyone with 
| any number of lawyers and loads of money in the bank can possibly win.

[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 :-)
