Verily I say unto thee, that Linonut spake thusly:

And yet these "useless" stats still interest you enough that you feel
compelled to comment about them.
The missing part of these stats that you apparently need so desperately,
is nothing but a collection of Microsoft-sponsored Linux hate mail and
commercial Microsoft advertising, disguised as grass-roots support by
paid-to-post astroturfers. I regard this with exactly the same contempt
as I regard any other form of spam. Quite why it's so essential to you,
I'm not sure. I can only conclude that you /are/ one of the "spammers".
If it were Viagra spam, would you have the same objection, I wonder?
Meanwhile my upstream Usenet provider has spam filters in place, and so
do I. It's just that mine are somewhat more effective.
As for Troll-feeders, they are essentially propagating others' spam by
responding to the spammers, and I wish they'd stop, but given that those
same posters are nonetheless genuine Linux advocates who mostly post
on-topic; on-charter material that's worth reading, are good natured and
have a good attitude, then I'm disinclined to killfile them completely.
That's not necessary anyway, since I killfile by subject line as well as
other parts of the header, so even followups to spam rarely makes it
into the stats, your ad hominem subject line included.
> I'll agree with that.
Gee, thanks.
