Dirty pool, old man!

The owner of the 'bosdev' EZBoard has been
cheating, and worse, has been cheating with *our*
words.
If you take a moment to observe the postings at
http://pub68.ezboard.com/bosdev
you will find that they will seem eerily
familiar. Furthermore, not only are they all from
'unregistered users', but the timestamps are all
suspiciously close together, as if they had been
added in sequence. The damning note comes from a
message in the Kernel topic page, where the
*original* timestamp from when it was posted to
osdev.org was accidentally posted with the
message itself, showing clearly that the message
was posted two days earlier.
In other words, the moderator is salting the
fnords^Wboards, and using messages posted on
'rival' boards to do it (why rivals? There should
be room enough for everyone, but the moderator
there doesn't seem to think so...).
I thought that the people of these two boards
should be made aware of this perfidy, and proceed
to punish the purpetrator in the best way
possible: by ridiculing them in public, and
ignoring their boards.
I mock thee for thy insolence! MOCK! MOCK! MOCK!
