Rather than demonize someone for their ignorance, why not educate them instead?

I second this.

If indeed this dude saying he is Kristopher is indeed Kristopher (Kris, it's the web, man... things ain't always as they seem...), he's doing something *VERY* cool. He's coming here and posting about his thoughts and answering questions and all that from under a glass celing. Perhaps anything he typed was "previewed" first, I don't know. But he has stopped by and told us all about what's going on.

As far as I can tell, he has nothing but good news to report. You, purslow (not erat) are doing nothing than make yourself an example of what is wrong with the "internet". The guy Kris came *HERE* to help out and to inform (as much as he legally can, I assume).

My hat is off to him.

OT: Signing posts

This does, interestingly enough, raise the issue of being able to authenticate postings. Is there any technology currently available which would allow digital signing of a post in an environment like this? How cool would that be? I can already invision how it would work (and I'm sure it's pretty much like how XML Signatures work, although I haven't had a chance to read the spec yet).

Back on topic - I was most astounded to see Kristopher posting here. Astounded and excited, though! I greatly look forward to seeing what the Novell + Linux combo will be able to produce. I agree with Xanadu - hats off to him.

Peace,
