Maybe it just the tech support person in me who believes that a normal user says the wrong thing meaning something else, so that I have to figure out what they're really talking about. Besides, the orginal address belongs to a teenage girl. (19-21 or so to judge by her web page,) who also according to her page dosen't look like she knows much about computers. I believe this was merely an accidental post. Even if it was malicious, (and it's a pretty stupid thing to try,) it seems to have succeeded in riling at least a few people around here. Either way, WE (The FreeBSD community,) need to be polite to every one... no matter who they are. Who knows your alleged script kiddie may someday become a potential member of the Core Team who single handedly wrote code that made FreeBSD the only operating system to use. But... he went over to Microsoft because you were impolite to him and has a bad taste in his mouth. Anyways, it's a moot point. Customer has been helped... at least by some.
