Thank you Tim.
I did a little digging and it appears that Mr Schestowitz is indeed
the source of the overzealous postings.
He is not very well liked on digg.

http://www.gatago.com/comp/os/linux/advocacy/32385708.html
and many many many many more like that.
Diggers have much higher standards than usenet users or at least
comp.os.linux.advocacy readers so it appears..
What a total waste of time posting all of those messages as if someone
really cares.
People will use the os that suits their needs.
