    You might as well not have posted at all, since posting as an AC removes any possible trace of credibility from your post.

    I despise redhat. I claim the right to express this fact every time I mention it by calling it redhate. I also have great derision for Microsoft, which I often express by calling it Micro$oft or MICROS~1. If you don't like, it log in, set me as an enemy and score me down below your threshold.

    I wasn't actually trying to make any point; I did it by reflex. Your lack of reading comprehension skills have betrayed you. Don't most of us get some sort of training in such things in grammar school?
