Yea, he is really starting to appear paranoid.
It must be a side effect to spending 24/7 posting messages to various
groups.

Hopefully he doesn't end up breaking down totally like this guy did:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/msg/bc64c6e578019d77

"The FAQ and Primer for COLA will no longer be published.  I do not want
my family endangered, so the document is being withdrawn the project is
being canceled and my other pro-Linux projects and efforts are also being
canceled. "

He was another totally obsessed with Linux poster in COLA.
He finally snapped and flamed out.......


BTW that guy was the person who claimed to have proof that I am Gary
Stewart!

Maybe when he gets out of the loony bin we can ask him for that proof.
