The advantage of getting Roy's posts via netscape.com is you can see how

Are you talking about Google Groups? As far as I'm concerned the whole


No, I'm talking about netscape.com.  It works kind of like Digg,
except they pay certain people (whom they call "Navigators") to
submit stories.  Roy is a Navigator, and submits pretty much all the
stuff he posts here to there, too.


But you don't have any proof of Roy being an actual Navigator.



I am not thinking that 8 hours a day of posting other peoples news is surely for free. Notihing is for free in this life! This Roy Mann is for sure certainly paid to post his spamming stuff which is for free in other sites which us profis read besides.

Depends on what you consider to be spam. To Linux/UNIX users, it is a convenient consolidation of pertinent linux news as well as a consolidation of advocacy points pertinent to Linux. I don't know or care about the other websites or newsgroups he is posting in or writing to.
