That part I understood, and agree with you on; the claims this SysAdmin
where making and his anger at your use of telnet was misguided at best,
ignorant at worst.

This is just rude. With that sentence you've effectively implied that
anyone who didn't understand the first time or doesn't agree with you
doesn't have "an intelligent understanding of the problem". I'm not trying
to pick a fight, just pointing this out.

And as I said I don't feel this is the forum for launching a flame campaign
on this guy, or anyone for that matter. The last time I emailed this
opinion, I recieved responses by people who agreed with me. We don't flame
each other, and I don't think we should en-masse flame people outside the
list. That kind of thing sets up an "us-against-them" situation, and
LinuxChix has always had a friendly, welcoming, anti-RTFM atmosphere where
pretty much anyone can speak. Hell, they let me blabber on *GRIN*.
Speaking of blabbering on, time to wrap this one up...
