Peter has Roy all figured out and he has had him figured out for quite a
while judging by his past posting in Google.
I suspect others are not as ignorant as they seem to be and they too have
Roy figured out, but to take a stand against the king of COLA is a big
thing.
And then to prove the Windows trolls were correct all along is even worse.
To his credit, for better or worse, Peter at least speaks his mind and
certainly doesn't follow the crowd around like a lost German shepherd.
