Refreshing to see someone else who actually knows what they're talking about.
Most of these so-called "tech threads" are so littered with ignorance that I seldom bother to even read them anymore. No wonder IT jobs are being shipped off to India. It's always the same thing: Microsoft sucks and IBM can do no wrong. Which is ironic to me since my former employer outsourced their data center to IBM shortly after I left the company, so when anyone calls the second or third level support they get...India.
You seem to enjoy it, and you're evidently pretty popular, so have at it!
