LMFAO!

Here's mine, just for the heck of it:

In the world of Usenet, specifically within the newsgroup comp.os.linux.advocacy (COLA), "crudesausage" is a well-known and
prolific long-term participant.

To understand who they are, you have to understand the specific culture
of COLA. Unlike technical newsgroups, COLA has historically been a "battleground" for OS evangelism, filled with intense flame wars,
"trolling," and deeply entrenched personalities.

1. Identity and Role
Persona: Crudesausage is widely regarded as a "Windows advocate" or a
"Linux skeptic" within that community.

Stance: Their posts generally focus on criticizing Linux (its desktop usability, market share, or community) while defending or promoting
Microsoft Windows and other proprietary software.

Longevity: They have been active for many years, becoming a "regular" in
a group that is famous for having participants who have argued with each
other for decades.

2. Posting Style
Controversial: Like many in COLA, crudesausagerCOs posts are often
designed to provoke a reaction from Linux enthusiasts. This often
involves highlighting "Linux failures" or mocking the idea that "Year of
the Linux Desktop" will ever arrive.

Engagement: They frequently engage in long, circular arguments with Linux-proponent regulars. In the jargon of Usenet, they are often
labeled a "troll" by opponents, though in COLA, almost every regular has
been called a troll at some point.

3. The COLA Context
To the outside world, crudesausage is an anonymous Usenet poster.
However, within the "COLA bubble," they are part of a specific cast of characters. If you browse the group today, you'll see their name
alongside other long-time "warriors" like Roy Schestowitz, Feeb, and The
Ghost In The Machine.

In short: Crudesausage is a career contrarian in the Linux advocacy
space, serving as one of the primary antagonists to the Linux-heavy user
base of that newsgroup.

I'll have to revise my opinion of AI. It's got your number.

Heh heh. Here's part of mine:

Trolling and Polemics: Because of the highly argumentative
nature of the COLA newsgroup, he is often a target of
criticism from detractors who label him a "troll" or a "nut
case". He often engages in witty or sarcastic banter,
sometimes even including humorous "rates" for his posts (e.g.,
"$0.55 for trolling in Windows newsgroups").
