`----
And as a bonus, this week we have a special award for the *idiot* of
the week ... in fact make that the *year*:
And the award goes to ...

... or even using computers _at all_)

| Also, no one calls it PCI-X even though that's the "official "
| shortening of the much more commonly used "PCI Express".

[1]: Posts via mail to news gateways are dropped by this server
and hence not included in the stats.
Other attention seeking posters may not appear as well.
[2]: Troll feeder %'age is (troll feeding posts / total posts) * 100
[3]: The poster 'quality' stats is based on:
a) quoting: 100 - %'age quoted
b) cross-posting: 100 - %'age cross-posted
c) number of direct followups posters articles get
d) troll feeding: 100 - 2.0 * %'age troll followups
e) 75 deducted for known trolls
f) for the humour impaired the quotes around 'quality'
are intended to convey they are not to be taken too
seriously :-)
