That's funny, I thought an RHCE would be considered welcome on this list. Let's see, how often have you offered help to others... <searches archives>... wow, twice!

This is the real Philosophy you stupid ass. I'm happy you don't have to use Microsoft products. Unfortunately, I work often in a location that requires me to schedule events in their Exchange server.
