    I did not click the link, so I did not feed his website or anyone else's with ad-revenue besides slashdot.

    Reading about him on a forum at best results in little or nothing. When it is taken Beyond this forum in a various manners, that is when his attention and his ability get a rise out of people will pay off. Bashing him on slashdot is ok. R'ing The FA is bad.

    Jack is like a troll

    It's just rumor, but someone told me that he had his name changed to "Thompson" from "Golf". His name used to be Jack Golf.
