For completely clueless, though, my absolute favorite was the multiple
message interchange that I got into with the guy about this part of the
main sourceware page:

* Is it true that the first lunar landing was faked?

  Of course.  Everyone knows that.  See the PBS documentary about it,
  Capricorn One.

He had some "updated" links for that page which pointed to various
conspiracy theories about the lunar landing.  When I mentioned that this
was supposed to be a joke, and that Capricorn One was a movie, and that
Hal Holbrook was never actually associated with the US space program, he
started demanding to speak to my supervisor and started making
threatening noises about Red Hat.

I'm still waiting to hear from this guy.  He was going to do some more
research and get back to me, IIRC.
