Mindcraft lied about posting requests for help to the newsgroupd.
Here is what the Observations section of the report has:
"We posted notices on various Linux and Apache newsgroups and received
no relevant responses. Also, we searched the various Linux and Apache
knowledge bases on the Web and found nothing that we could use to
improve the performance we were observing. "
When doing a powersearch on dejanews.com on "mindcraft (AND) linux"
we get multiple articles posted starting and post 04/14/99 (when
the report is publishes), but nothing between 98/08/20 and 99/04/14,
when if they really have used kernel 2.2.2 which was released
on Feb 22, 1999, they must have made at lease one posting
to the newsgroups between 2/22/99 and 4/13/99, and their
posting must have come up because the search criteria includes
their domainname and word Linux (obviuosly reasonable condition).

This is at least one hard evidence of a lie in their report.
Dejanews naturally accumulates postings to the newsgroups made
regardless of the source news server.
