> PS: a while ago i created that ms word document explaining how open
source is better and then i put "Bill Gates" as the author. hehe, seems
like it worked https://github.com/Microsoft
There's a kind of second-order prank I was thinking about which is 
tangentially related to this:
1. Set up a Wordpress blog with no connections back to your personal identity
2. Write an opinionated blog entry on a controversial geopolitical topic
3. Wait for a sock puppet to arrive and leave comments
4. Argue with the sock puppet. With each response in their exchange with you, subtly 
moderate the sock puppet's response to soften their argument.  Continue until you've 
taken over authorship and brought the sock puppet around to your POV.5. Guard against the coming DDOS attacks. :)
