I've been a lurker for some time now and have learned a lot in these
groups, but one thing that really gets my dander up is when people
just arbitrarily attribute posts to some idiot named Flatfish.

1. I find very little posted DIRECTLY by this Flatfish in Google.
2. I see hundreds of different IP addresses attributed to this
Flatfish.
3. I see hundreds of different aliases attribtuted to this Flatfish.

One thing that bothers me is that the only time the cry of Flatfish is
yelled is when a post that is anti-Linux is made.

Is this some kind of method the Linux users are emplying to sweep the
faults of Linux, and there are many, under the carpet?

It sure seems that way and certainly seems easy enough to do.

When a topic surfaces that Linux advocates don't want to touch, call
it a Flatfish and let it disappear.

I'll let you know that others have figured this out a long time ago
and you are just looking very silly going of half cocked calling
everyone a Flatfish.

There is no way one person could possibly post that many messages,
under that many false id's and under that many fake ISP's unless the
person runs an ISP and is sitting at the terminal 24x7.
No way.
So someone has to be lying.
I think it is the paranoid LinoKOOKS.
