Posted in Microsoft, Site News at 7:48 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
The following conversation took place just minutes ago in the public IRC channel. It involved “yuhong”, who has been defending Microsoft or its products in this Web site for quite some time. He does this in other sites like Roughly Drafted. Here is a complete, as-is, log from his latest appearance (context here). His IRC software gave away the IP address.
