“This is for historians, in case any of them wonder who was
behind the scurrilous smear campaign that showed up on
SkylineCowboy.com: if you visit today, you get redirected to a
WebHost4Life message that says the site has been “suspended”. I
guess somebody didn’t pay his bills. The url of the redirection is
http://www.webhost4life.com/templates/lightsOut.bml?lightsoutuser=cattleback“Cattleback. The name of the subsidiary that SCO created and
transferred a patent to and then sold off in 2007 was, if you
recall, Cattleback Holdings. And Darl McBride was alleged to be
calling himself “Skyline Cowboy” on that site in litigation about
the smear campaign and the “loan” McBride said he made to Mark
Robbins, plus lots more, that ended up tossed out of court on a
technicality. And here the web host says the user behind
SkylineCowboy.com used the nym “cattleback”. Just another
breadcrumb in what was a really awful chapter of this loathsome
saga.”
