In a little over 2 years, Roy has posted 49,300 posts to usenet (not
counting his posts Digg, Netscape, etc..). In contrast, I've posted 36,000
posts in 17 years.
Many of you will remember that it wasn't long ago that I was typically the
top, or close to the top poster in COLA, a distinction I do not feel
particularly proud of. Yet Roy has, in just over 2 years, posted almost
50%% more articles as someone who has been prolific on usnet for more than
10 years.
Makes you think.
It also seems kind of odd, given the number of people that accused me of
being paid to post, and that nobody could post as much as I do without
being paid, that those same people refuse to believe that Roy is spamming
them.
Makes you wonder.
(and before anyone suggests that I'm jealous or envious or anything else, I
do NOT hold my post count in any kind of esteem. That's one of the reasons
i've reduced my posting over the last year or so.

Especially considering that Roy's main argument to support most of his
"shill" accusations is the amount of time the alleged shills spend
reading and posting. Roy spends far more time at this than they do.

Guilty as charged!
I can't imagine anyone having such zealous attachment to micoshaft
products so as to waste 17 years of their life time posting
anti-linux messages. I think it is an incredible sad day
for micoshaft loosers.
Despite all your looser efforts, Linux has blossomed.

Tim and Erik, it is not even close.......
Looking at post count does not tell the entire story.
You have to look at the content, the length of the posts, is it commenting,
the links etc.

17 years ago I was an Amiga enthusiest. I didn't even know what Linux was
(it had, after all, just been created).
And I am not anti-linux.

Neither am I.
For the record, I was a total Amiga nutcase!
I had the Video toaster and everything.
At that time I was an OS/2 enthusiast but was not on the Internet.
I was too busy thinking I had a career with Big Blue....
I got real smart, real fast and invested every dime in real estate.
I retired very early and here I am.

Note that Roy's postings are all right 'on topic' for a linux advocacy
group, and hence are beyond criticism.
Agreed that he wouldbe badly off topic if he posted to a group with a
name like comp.os.vista.advocacy .

Are you kidding?

Many of his posts are not even close.
He would be tarred and feathered if he tried this in other groups.
