Aah, nostalgia. I remeber the days when MollyC and NotParker would tagteam any criticism of Microsoft by posting lists of links.

LOL; I forgot about that.

Yeah, I remember when I first came here, I tag-teamed with NotParker a couple of times posting links to various web statistic OS usage sites (but I never posted over a dozen links in one post like lemur2, nor did I post links without at least a one sentence summary about what the links had to say). But that was when I was a newbie here, and was young and naive about the mores this site.

But going thru my early posting history, I only tag-teamed with NotParker for a handful of posts on a couple of threads, and never to thwart "any criticism of Microsoft by posting lists of links". I only posted 2 or 3 links to web stat OS usage sites when the topic at hand was the size of Linux's user base. I'm impressed that you would remember anything about that (I had forgotten it), but your recollection of it is severely warped.

As for NotParker, at the time I didn't realize that NotParker was not only disagreed with by most here (which is fine), but also completely disrespected (otherwise I wouldn't have tag-teamed with him). I remember seeing posts of his that weren't inflammatory at all, modded down to -5 (the lowest possible mod point at the time), and wonder why. If you look at the final few pages of his post history, you see nearly every one modded down into oblivion. I gradually gathered that he'd been posting flame bait for a long time and people had grown tired of it and so automatically modded down all his posts. lol But he left osnews a few months after I joined (I don't know if he was banned or just moved on).
