I'm sorry but, though I understand your intent (though I do question it) I
have to point out that at no time did the original poster even slight NT.

The message speaks for itself, Michael not only made no mention of NT in his
(now forgoten) request for help he did not even have a signature berating
ANY Microsoft products. Which is the most popular way to slid in comments
that bash MS in general.
If you are going to do more of what you just did might I suggest that at
least do it to some one who is actively anti MS, NT, Win95, or all the
above. Hopefully Michael will get an answer (no I don't have one, sorry
Mike) but to do so he will probably have to start a new thread thanks, in
part, to you.
And no I am not anti-MS, I use any tool that will do the job the best. MS,
Linux/RedHat, Novell, or whatever, it makes no differance to me as long as
it works. But to start this because "it's cheap, easy, and momentarily
entertaining sport to goad the more rabid Linuxites", i.e. because you can,
is just senseless.
