"you can’t make vague and general claims" You should print out that sentence of yours and cast a good, long look at it every time you feel the urge to write a blog entry. Note: comment has been flagged for arriving from an abusive Internet troll

OK, just started correcting you (see 'front page'). Don't say you didn't ask for it... Come to think of it, I did point you to inaccuracies before. Note: comment has been flagged for arriving from an abusive Internet troll

If you find inaccuracies, feel free to suggest a correction (yet, we post corrections too). If you say nothing, you can’t make vague and general claims about overall inaccuracy.

Do you think that anyone has the time to read everything you write Roy? Not even talking about correcting and replying to every of your inventions and allegations.

Be specific if something that we say it incorrect. Unlike the Inquirer, we don’t announced that “Dell dumped Linux (in the UK)” because some forum thread somewhere on the Web had some anonymous chump thinking so.

At least it is well-known that the Enquirer is not to be believed. It's important to point out to readers of this blog that they cannot trust what you write here. Note: comment has been flagged for arriving from an abusive Internet troll

The Inquirer added a facility for comments about a month ago. You can do your trolling over there, eet.

I actually find this site very, very entertaining – it’s like the Enquirer for Linux. Give me a Loch Ness Monster any day!

> Maybe it’s time for a moderation policy?

For stories? I’m in favor of that. Would hopefully be a great help to raise the quality.

More slanderous baseless accusations. Maybe it’s time for a moderation policy?

I’m not. Isn’t that a great proof that we’re not identical?

> but I wonder what you are

Professional mud catapult?

Likely Mark S. is paying him. Now that this is disclosed, this site can be shut down.

Gawd, you simply cannot believe that people don't agree with the utter, slanderous and ill-researched shit you guys write? Well, let me tell you that I'm a student, but I wonder what you are. You write so much (never mind the quality of what you're writing) that you either have _no life_ and no girlfriend or you must be doing it during your working hours. Which brings me to the question: Is somebody paying _you_ to write this blog? Note: comment has been flagged for arriving from an abusive Internet troll

You may be right, but prior incidents include cases where all IP addresses were identical. As I've stated stated, we rarely ever check this (I could count on one hand the number of times I've checked such a things in the past year, i.e. since inception).

Great catch – NOT! 217.226. is from the IP pool of Germany’s biggest Internet provider.
