The best part is that this Linux conspiracy loons don't realize that people
stumbling into COLA will read their paranoia and write off the group as a
loony bin thus moving on.
Plus, these bozos in COLA, typify just about every stereotype the Linux
user has in the non Linux community.
IOW the paranoid beaded masses living in their mother's basement (dorm
room), expecting everything in the world to be given away for free.
5 minutes reading COLA and the impression that Linux and it's religious
following is somewhat off kilter.
In effect, jack asses like Schestowitz, Kent, [Homer] and others do more
harm to Linux than advocacy.
