Oh, okay.  He's the guy who added up all the columns listing defect counts
for Linux distributions, including "aggregate" and concluded that Linux
was the "worst operating system ever".

He's got a lot of nerve complaining about people who do "not seem to
read, understand, or otherwise know how to employ the English language"
when he adds the aggregate total to all the other columns in the
statistics to reach his conclusion.

He's also lying in this column.  He said nothing about relative market
share in his previous message.  He also quoted not ONE "security
expert" as the basis of his conclusion The conclusion was based solely on
the total number of defects reported.

Based on the fact that he used "fighting words" in his original message,
that he doesn't know what he's talking about, and the fact that he lies
through his teeth about the focus of the previous article, I have to
conclude that he's a moron.
