Hey!
You all got sucked in on this one. If you don't believe me, save Howard's
original posting, come back to it in a week and reread it. An
analysis will show he is an expert in flaming. Some people
entertain themselves with this. Some jump from forum to forum
bating people to respond. They get their kicks from this, albeit
perverted.
Does anyone have a SERVLET-INTEREST question that hasn't
been asked before?
Sans adieu,
Danny Rubis
