It is either a huge bait e-mail, which is possible but unlike, or he
really spilled the beans on the wrong list. Asking those questions is
common on newsgroups and other forums. Sometimes that is the only way to
get any answer, but I wouldn't hand them my phone number, the types of
servers I have and were I at all in one little e-mail on one of the
worse list to post sure information.

He is "trying" to get his stuff broken and there are people on FD that
will do it..just to do it..and then make fun of him. At least he will
learn something, either way.
