Re: Annoying pop-ups

[Gregory Austin <gaustin () rkon com>]

Mikael,

     While I generally despise Microsoft, I don't think it's fair to call 
having a messenger service a newfangled evil.  RPC.rwalld's been around on 
most POSIX systems forever.  Personally I see this messenger service spam 
business as a non-issue.  To me, anybody who is affected by it is just 
paying up their stupidity tax when they have to click ok.  With all the 
free or cheap personal firewall software available there isn't a whole lot 
of excuse for anybody to get hit by this traffic from the Internet--not 
even home users (and if this traffic is getting to them, pop-ups could 
easily be the least of their problems).

Greg is, among other things,  a moron.
Anything he has said above is solely his
