    Have you been around here this week? Yes, we are. Maybe another windows virus will come along and everyone can copy and paste from their

    "C:\Documents and Settings\LinuxGeek\My Documents\MS Word Files\I hate microsoft.doc"

    file and rant some more.

    I was the previous poster, and I was doing nothing more than pointing out that /. was 2 days behind Groklaw on this story. Period.

    The way you said it was denigrating. If I had said "Geez, you sure don't think much of yourself, other people made much better comments than yours less than 5 minutes ago" it would also have been a pointless insult.

    You could have just said "Groklaw also had an article about this, here is the link".

    Who said anything about influence?

    My interpretation of your comment "This, I think, is probably where we'll want to be paying some attention next" is that you think Groklaw's attention makes a squat of difference. If you don't believe that, and you do think that Groklaw has little to no influence on the outcome, then I'll be happy to apologise.

    I explained exactly what I meant two responses up. I was talking about the Red Hat case. Not Groklaw.

    I saw your comment earlier where you claimed I "confused the pronouns". I did no such thing. I knew precisely that you meant "Red Hat case" when you wrote "this" and my comment is unchanged by your "clarification". You are trying to evade the question.

    You haven't asked a question.

    Groklaw is "paying attention" to every motion, brief, memorandum, and letter that's filed in every court where SCO is involved in Linux litigation. That was just an article I noticed because it seemed to me that, if the judge grants Red Hat's motion to lift the stay, SCO will be forced to confront the copyright issues there, and that's the issue that's mainly of interest around here. It's also a very nice summary of the "shell game" SCO is playing with the contradictory statements it's making in different courtrooms, which is surely worth at least a dry chuckle.

    Now if your only point is that you disagree with that and you don't really think it's of interest -- well, it's just too damn bad you can't do anything about it, isn't it?

    I don't disagree with that. I do think it is of interest. If the best you can do is to attribute me with beliefs I do not have and disprove arguments that I have not made then you really should reconsider what value you bring to this discussion.

    You haven't asked a question.

    I might not have put a question mark at the end but my request for you to clarify your position was pretty clear. Your continued refusal to do so is very telling.

    Hehehe that was an entertaining read. Thank you. :)

    The reason I've beenn postinng a lot is because I've been working a lot. Full time job + freelance = argh I want a day off. So, in between long file saves, I've been entertaining myself with Slashdot. I've got another week to go so please, settle in, and enjoy the show.

    That was a nice try at getting my goat, though. Mighta worked if anything you've said had some foundation in reality. Perhaps instead of sharing tips on 'having a life' with me, I should instead show you how to troll?

    I prefere AutoZone over Murray's any chance I get. However, Murrays does tend to have the parts I need on-hand more often.
