Kewl..
"Actually I agree with you that Bush is a moron and I certainly don't need a link for that either, as it's very subjective anyway."

Good. It makes me sad when I see people that like what's going on nowadays.

"However... When someone makes sweeping statements about technical issues to the effect that SP2 doesn't fix anything, then a request for a link to back up that "fact" is quite valid, I think."

Maybe. But that's still just his opinion. I feel the same way. I've been patched up to SP2, I have an updated panda, zonealarm, spywareblaster, use a real browser like Mo Firefox (why does anyone use IE nowadays? That will always be one of the great mysteries to me. Techie guys too, not newbies. Weird.), regularly delete the cache of everything, not much else is needed. I've yet to be hit by a virus, trojan, and finally, I can't believe it, but I don't get any spyware anymore.

"All he did was prove that he represents the prime target for ZDNet - someone that will eat up all their drivel and not venture out of ZDNet Land to get more info on the topic."

People don't come here to "get their info". It's just IT tabloid news. I expect mud slinging here. This isn't the wall street journal. No one "eats up their drivel"..unless they are a "drone". ZDNet is a prime target for mud slingers. That's why dubious characters like No_Ax_to_whateve..are one of the saddest cheap highlights of ZDNet. Mikey B. Joey Lou. You know what I'm sayin ta you?..:-)

"The last part of your post doesn't make much sense to me, especially since I don't have to be "forgiven" for anything."

Never asked that you needed to be forgiven. No one ever needs to be forgiven for anything in life. The ultimate justice is the court that's in one's head.

"Love,
Peter"

Ooo my. So much distaste for something and a loving finish all in one stroke of the brush? Amazing artistry!..with the hurricane twirl that accompanies the artist to boot!..Ta! happy
