So I am being banned out there now? Listen..I have 22 years IT experience and I have TWO COLLEGE degrees! This is an outrage! I was merely trying to explain that if he was using IBM for DOS networking tools he probably wouldn't be having so much trouble network hacking.

I also got a private message from "merlyn" telling me to stop using all caps when I say "PERL" Oh what like he is some kind of big PERL expert??? Gimme a break!
