The cute names are typical of Flatfish, who's been posting lying
anti-Linux propaganda for Microsoft for many years now. Also typical
is the fact that he's hacked into a computer in Spain, or at least
found an open web proxy there, that he's using to disguise his true
ip-address. He's done this with computers in various countries, and
even once with a machine at a U.S. Air Force base. This is intended
to make it appear that the negative opinions about Linux are coming
from lots of different people. Much like when Microsoft pays many
millions of dollars to PR companies to have them write letters
appearing to come from ordinary people praising the corporation:

The moral nature of Bill Gates and Microsoft can be judged by this sort
of tactics used by its agents.

Here's a partial list of the acts of fraud and coercion by Microsoft to
destroy its competition:

Then there's the $100,000,000 they paid more recently to SCO to finance
their fraudulent lawsuit against Linux distributors and users.

Microsoft is one of the biggest criminal enterprises in history.
