Ilias Lazaridis
Encyclopedia : I : IL : ILI : Ilias Lazaridis
Ilias Lazaridis is an Internet personality who frequents programming-related discussion groups and mailing lists. Lazaridis posts to various groups and lists, typically presenting himself in the role of an analyst or "auditor" from "Lazaridis System Design" who is evaluating a language or tool for use on an unspecified project. Despite this innocent beginning, threads begun by Lazaridis often devolve into flame wars, leading many to suspect he is an internet troll.
The [Lazaridis System Design website] claims to sell consulting and auditing services, and Lazaridis's posts often contain multiple links that site. On occasion, Lazaridis mentions that he will offer a "reduced rate" for analysis of open-source projects. The combination of repeated linking to his own site and mentions of his rates for analysis have led some to suspect he may be a spammer.
Lazaridis is known to have posted to the following lists:
- [apache]
- [archetypes-devel]
- [caml-list]
