Well, his newsreader might include upscoring for your posts because he
loves your work and admires your opinion so much.

Except that he's using Google Groups, which:

1. contradicts that possibility, since GG doesn't actually do filtering[1];

2. shows his post was more political statement than technical
revelation; and

3. indicates why he feels as he does about the UIP.


[1] But if it did... The very thought of this concept might make
Blinky's head explode.
