Oh, I wonder if *this* is why "Ewik the Weasel" believes his spurious
"claims" don't need to be supported?
You know the ones:
Why can't M$ TTFonts be used in linux.
How did the Morris worm spread by email?
What about the "thousands of root exploits per month" he claimed,
(& was then found to be making it all up)?
What was the plan he was going to reveal wrt adding nonsensical
lines to the ends of Roy's posts? You know, the plan he was going to
tell us about before he spent a week away and fell behind? Right? The
time he fell behind by a week and had to take 3 or more months to get
caught up with posts?
Just what *was* that plan he claimed he was going to amaze us with?

IMO if someone makes claims, they *should* be prepared to back it up with
solid proof, & *not* strawman arguments....like Ewik the Weasel.
