OK Fritz, I've just seen the rest of your posts in the other newsgroups,
very funny indeed. The wacky German sense of humour perhaps?

AD is what you install on a Win 2k member/standalone server to change it
into a Domain Controller.

I doubt! Seems to be a Linux troll using his spare time for fun and no
profit. And trolls are no national plague but homeless everywhere. His
sense of orientation seems to be deeply troubled because he couldn't
find a german newsgroup.
Look at his configuration:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021213 Debian/1.2.1-2.bunk

Ciao, Walter

Auch! Walter, komm! Die Witze von Fritz habe ich ja
nicht gesehen. Aber das ist doch ein Bischen
merkwuerdig, dass er die Deutsche NewsGroup nicht finden
konnte. Ich habe keinerlei Probleme, die zu finden und
bin selbst ja kein Deutscher!
