Yet you were one of those people saying Groklaw is bought and paid for by IBM just because years ago IBM donated some hardware to the iBiblio project that hosts thousands of public sites, one of its newest members being Groklaw. Yet you don't think Microsoft directly giving money to an organization would influence its studies of things important to Microsoft's business.

The point was that Groklaw couldn't have even existed without IBM's contributions. Big freakin' difference.

You are so very wrong. Groklaw existed before it even moved to iBiblio, which had long before that received an IBM donation (BTW, there is anti-IBM information on iBiblio). This is recorded fact. Meanwhile, Microsoft is paying money directly to people who research papers about matters important to Microsoft. That is also recorded fact.

Where there is no connection, you see a strong one. Where there is a clear strong connection, you see none. Everyone should take back any suggestion that you are astroturfing for Microsoft -- even they wouldn't be that stupid. You must just be a freelance Microserf.
