Why do you spam the Linux groups with this crap?

And why would anyone listen to a person who has apparently castrated
himself?

I don't know if this is you or not, but the name matches and you do
seem to be a bit unbalanced.

All links and references therein are a case of libel and fabrication. There are
fake (planted there by Gary Stewart). It's an attempt at character
assassination, which is better off ignored.

Messages you find on the Web with my name (or identities, unless digitally
signed in a verifiable fashion) can be fake.

Many thanks,

Roy
