I'll second that! Shawn, you are a moron! Bonafide moron you are! I don't seem to have the problems that you do with viruses on my network. I wonder why that is.
Oh, and don't be ranting about one NOS being better than the other. I currently use all three of them... I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to rant about any and or all of them. -----Original Message----- From: David Strome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 4:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe - FOR THE LAST TIME! Hi. You're an idiot. Mail platforms aren't dangerous. Admins who don't know how to protect their systems are dangerous. bye.

Huh?? So are implying that every other mail platform is dangerous because they allow .com and .exe files? Gee, I thought the real issue (read: problem) was the way Microsoft processed their 'special' files (e.g. asp, vb*). Thank Microsoft, you must be joking? Let's see, in a typical work: I spend about 3-6 hours research and testing (YES I really do test both in my test lab and on my workstation VMs) Microsoft's latest bug patches. For Linux, probably about 1-3 hours per week. For Netware 5, probably not much more than 1 hour per week. The point being, Microsoft can make it easier but all I see is supporting MS products is becoming more and more costly. [Unnecessary inflammatory comment warning] Anyone who claims the TCO is lower for MS NOS products as compared to Novell NOS (or any other NOS for that matter) understands little about non-MS NOS platforms!

Patches have been larger..... yeah, yeah, I know.... Size is not representative at all. Why are you nitpicking something so unimportant, forgedabowdid! >The Patch didnt break Outlook, your lack of preparation did. Over and >Out. For god's sakes, how many times must I repeat myself? I understood the consequences! My intent was to simply protest the method Microsoft used to 'correct' the problems with Outlook. I was really hoping to hear that fellow administrators also agreed with my observations. Damn, I did not expect a lynch mob! I'm beginning to think this is a discussion group for a Microsoft cult. (ha! - now take it easy, that means joke okay?) I'll tell y'all what, from now on I'll wear my dunce cap and promise never to speak ill of Microsoft ever again. BTW, I wish some of you folks would edit your responses (delete the unnecessary text) before pressing the send button.
