That's what Linux is all about.
Make stuff up and post it all over the place hoping naive people will
get sucked in.
Take a look at a topic list from comp.os.linux.advocacy on any day of
the week.
Here is one from today and pay particular note to the total lack of

Also notice the kooky, paranoid views of this and several other Linux

You just can't make this stuff up!!
