Groklaw No Front for IBM
A Groklaw Reader writes "After all the wild speculation SCO put forth about Pamela Jones, her alleged subpoena by SCO, and her recent vacation due to illness, we now have Stephen J. Vaughan-Nichols writing to say 'Yes, there is a PJ.' In his own words, he says, 'Let me address this directly. Yes, Pamela Jones is a real person. I've met her several times [...] I consider her a friend. She is not a front for anyone.' Hopefully, this statement will be enough to put those SCO-induced conspiracy theories to rest."
I find your comment misses the point entirely. First, I don't base any of my conclusions on where she lives. Instead I look at her actions and see that there could be a correlation. The fact that she is a "front for IBM" is supported by where she lives, not created by it.
As to where you live, you don't operate a web site that actively promotes one of the Big-3 over all other automakers, do you? Are you spending ridiculous amounts of time on a court case the most of the world doesn't even know about, and also going into "hiding", fearing for your life due to your actions?
PJ is related to IBM in some way. Whether you call her a front, a shill, or a terraformer, she is a bogus "grassroots" movement by IBM _in my opinion_. Still, that doesn't make any of the logic presented wrong, but there may be things left out of the discussion. Groklaw is a PR campaign, and apparently it is so well done that most people don't even realize it.
