Do not feed the trolls! was: Is Windows with Cygwin Unix

On Tuesday 21 March 2006 21:06, Karen Hill stood up and spoke the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...:

Please keep your trolling limited tocomp.os.linux.advocacy,"Karen Hill", aliasflatfish+++. I'm actually surprised to see that for onceC.O.L.A.actually *isn't* in the list of addressed groups.

I specifically leftC.O.L.A.because it has become a discussion forum for Microsoft-haters, Microsoft apologists and OS X trolls, so much that maintaining akillfileisn't even of any use there, considering that all troll posts are quoted in full in the follow-ups.

The least you can do is show us all the courtesy to keep on directing your posts at the groups that do like trollfeeding,C.O.L.A.being the most eligible one.

For all your questions regarding UNIX and GNU-Linux, here's the address...:

You really must have a lot of time on your hands to keep on doing this multiple times per week for years in a row. Whatever your beef withC.O.L.A.may be, take it there, not here.

Note to all other readers: My apologies for the follow-up to this trollpost, but it's the only way I can alert other posters that the answers to the questions asked in the original post are already known to the original poster - although that's totally irrelevant to him - and that his cross-posted trolls are solely directed at stirring up trouble.

flatfish+++is a known and proven troll who uses a very huge collection of false pseudonyms - accompanied by the occasional anonymizing proxy or posts from Google Groups - that he constantly shifts between. He's a regular on the audio groups, the SuSE group andC.O.L.A.

The question of the subject line comes from one of my very own (and very last) posts toC.O.L.A.in which I stated that adding Cygwin to Windows does not make it into a UNIX. Just goes to show what the "inspiration" came from.
