Several notes.  First, the guy was clearly from oregon state (orst),
and NOT IBM.  Second, this was clearly a juvenile prank designed to
get just this kind of flash-flames.  This kid is giggling in a corner
right now.  Third, please learn to ignore posts like his/hers in the
future so you don't waste net bandwidth flaming an idiot when that's
exactly what he/she wants... wait a minute!

Ooops!
