Re: [News] Violent Microsoft Goons Attack Linux/Free Software Advocates (Not on the Internet)

After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out

Follow-on:

   Given that he

   a) had lost work, as he perceived it, due to lack of Linux skills,

   b) had met someone who was into Linux and taught a class in it, and

   c) tried to beat this person up,

   I suspect that his lack of employment has very little to do with his
   lack of Linux skills.

Was this in 'tlanta?  DFS?
