Yeah, Roy, I noticed this yesterday when I got the dreaded
441 Banlist error from AIOE. I wrote to them about this
and they said that COLA has been restored. If you read
these words that will show that they spoke truly.
This is a test. If it has been restored, you will see this
post.
That's good news, but hopefully the offenders won't be back
(hopping on that same wave, making it a tsunami). Apparently
they refuse to take and accept the message of those who
provide them with a free service. They bite the hand that
feeds them. It says something about their ethics.
Oh, I look at it as a warning from AIOE. If necessary they can
reinstitute the 441 Banlist again. Last time they did it lasted
for around 5 weeks.
Our trolls have no ethics. I see facts posted by advocates that
reveals their lies, then they back off for a short time. I see
them resurrect the same mantras, e.g., convicted monopolist is
not a monopolist, fonts are crappy, Linux frequently crashes,
desktop is still amateurish, Linux has performance problems,
Linux users are sponges because they are unwilling to pay for
software, Linux market share is 0.7% worldwide, FAQ at
www.faqs.org is not the real one, etc.
Worst are the name calling and bashing of advocates, inferences
to sexual orientation, occasional posting of personal information
(illegal), posting a bogus FAQ as though genuine, continued
insistence that advocates are Windows haters, etc.
The very entity that they attempt to protect causes a negative
reflection not only on them, but indirectly on that same entity.
