Thank You for pointing out my non-standard signature. You failed to
mention that my signature was in violation of standard netiquette
guidelines that say the signature should be no more than 80 characters wide
and four lines long. You also failed to mention that there should be a
"white space line" above the sig mark.

It is also inappropriate to post a netiquette violation to a public
newsgroup. It is considered polite to send the offending author a private
email.

Now I have to violate those guidelines because you brought them up in a
public newsgroup.

Why did you rename my thread and to a software topic in a hardware group?

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette

Perhaps you are unaware of the microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
newsgroup. That is a good place to discuss Vista and also get interest in
your Vista links.
