Ah, I see Scott Douglas is back to the "Ezekiel" persona. I imagine he only had
libel and/or bad things to say.
Good for him he lives in Canada. It's harsh further down and in the EU he can
be put in jail for all that AstroTurfing.
Newspaper exposes "Steve Barkto" as MS agent

Subject: Newspaper exposes "Steve Barkto" as MS agent
Sunday, March 20, the San Jose Mercury News published a front page
article on the agent provocatour, alias, Steve Barkto. The article
quotes William Zachmann as saying he tracked down Mr. "Barkto" on
his Compuserve forum, after this new member made disparaging remarks
about IBM, and in particular, OS/2.
Mr. "Barkto" is not a major customer of IBM, but an employee or agent
of Microsoft. The account which this mole used, was paid for by the
good old folks at MS.
I wrote an letter to Congressman Norm Mineta (D-San Jose) asking that
the U.S. Dept. of Justice look into unfair trade practices of MS. In
particular, the relationship between computer system manufactures,
and MS.
I wonder how many messages we get on this USENET and others, that
originate from the corporate headquarters of Microsoft?
