But your gig is up. You have done a fine job of making the army of slashdot paullowers look silly. Unfortunately you slipped up and let it show a while ago that you don't actually believe in any of what you are writing. You put on a nice show, so take a bow. However, you aren't likely to manage to fool much of anyone any more.
