I think that you may be suffering from temporary blindness. I thought 
that people's attitudes towards the original poster seemed somewhat sour 
from the get go. Yes, he escalated the situation even worse thereafter. 
But it started with smart alec comments from pro-linux people first. He 
asked a legitimate question which could have been answered simply 
enough. It should have made people feel good that the original poster 
trusted the technical expertise of the people on this list. I guess 
he'll think twice on that theory from now on...
