On 2009-11-22, the following emerged from the brain of Chris Ahlstrom:

It's the grouping of results, so you don't have to wade through dozens of
links to something that wasn't what you were thinking of. It even mentions
"Linux, a washing powder from Rösch".
Nice find, Tim.
I wonder if it is feeding off of google. The page refers to this script:

I think the Smith troll is confusing "Linux" with "POSIX", which even now

What? One dude acts nuts, and is therefore a valid representative of

Smith, you're as dingy as that woman. Why the hell is she *still*

What bugs me is that Smith almost never points to a link when he makes a
claim about something silly BN or Roy may have claimed. It reeks of
squealing, like a greased pig.
