| 14:30.04 | Leeds | you sent us a troll? |
| 14:30.48 | quinophex | nah, he appeared on the gllug list yesterday |
| 14:30.49 | Leeds | oh, sid |
| 14:30.54 | quinophex | aye |
| 14:32.07 | Leeds | I didn't notice the name, I did notice how stupid the post was, and that it was coming from yahoo.ca |
| 14:32.38 | quinophex | he appeared back on the alug list a week or so ago |
| 14:32.59 | quinophex | he subscribed about 3 minutes before sending a (similar) silly message |
| 14:33.12 | quinophex | and i am 99% certain as are a few others that we know who he is |
| 14:33.39 | quinophex | he has managed to destroy a couple of east anglian computer groups in the past with his trollage, and say nasty things about people on usenet etc. |

| 15:31.13 | evangineer | Leeds: the controversy regarding russ nelson's presidency of OSI appears to stem from http://www.petitiononline.com/hudson01/ |
| 15:32.37 | Leeds | hmm... I thought it had come from some of his less serious comments following his appointment guess I was wrong |
| 15:34.01 | Leeds | anyway, following my standard theory of trusting someone more if I know them... I'd prefer to have him running OSI than someone I don't know, from RedHat (okay, Cygnus, which makes it better) |
| 15:34.17 | Leeds | not that my opinion has any weight at all in the matter, of course :-) |
| 15:46.32 | evangineer | there's a discussion on lwn about the saga of russ' resignation from osi http://lwn.net/Articles/125836/ |
| 15:55.26 | Leeds | hmm... |
| 15:56.17 | Leeds | so, all Russ is really guilty of is being too human for the job, which considering who he predecessor was, is saying something... |
| 15:59.24 | Leeds | oh, and in essence, his "blacks are lazy" argument goes: Economics tells us that employment is a process of exchanging labour and time for pay. Statistics tells us that blacks are paid less for the same job. Logic tells us that they will then supply less time and/or labour |
| 17:43.54 | rhowe | (friend of mine, in Manchester) |
| 17:46.46 | rhowe | yowch. They have on film the moment he was told that if the tumour they're operating on turns out to be malign, stats indicate he has a 50% chance of surviving 5 years |
| 17:47.23 | Leeds | ugh |
| 17:49.05 | rhowe | Yeah, looks like it was really a shock to him |
| 17:53.29 | Leeds | I'm damn sure it was |
| 17:54.33 | rhowe | Well he's always suffered tumours. but it never occured to him that they could be cancerous |
