Now that really is bizarre.  The "many eyes" of the "real" Linux
community are cataloguing and archiving Roy Schestowitz's posts, eh?
And you say paranoia has no place in the workings of your mind?
Right...

Incidentally, if Roy's activities are so obviously the work of a
Microsoft shill, only fooling the fools in COLA, then the rest of the
internet would know what he's up to, and wouldn't need to wait for him
to foul up.  Wouldn't need to catalogue and archive anything.

Paranoids tend to find conspiracy everywhere.  Everyone else knows
that Roy Schestowitz is a FOSS advocate.  Whether you think he's an
effective advocate is another matter.  I don't read most of what he
posts.  But I don't think he's a Microsoft shill or botnet either.
