As some of you will have noticed, I did not adhere to the very sage advice of "Don't feed the trolls". This is somewhat unfortunate because trolls always come back for more, but I felt that supplying information might in this case be more helpful. A good troll ignores information and reason anyway, so we will find out what the situation really is depending on whether he ignores the information given or not.
I decided to try to explain rather than ignore because there is the (very slight) possibility that S M really and truly missed the entirety of the saga on the RPF blog and forum and simply has no idea about the topics that we have been discussing here, however unlikely that may seem. I know that you'll all be rolling your eyes at this, but it is ever so slightly possible that he will do a full and balanced job of research, realize that he imagined something that does not exist, say he's sorry, and then help expose the problems with Pi hardware, software and organization to a larger audience.
Yes, I know how exceedingly unlikely this is, but I don't think journalistic integrity is totally dead, just very rare. Anyway, I tried to help.
