a) Messenger Plus! is not a Microsoft product.
b) Scores of plugins are available for this product.
c) AV definitions have been available for a year.

Hey Abe,

Maybe the pot shouldn't call the kettle black since you've been posting
regularly on the microsoft.public.* groups.

Oh sorry, that was Benjamin Disraeli and Ali Abin Makesh (the Arab who was
insulted over Steve Balmer's use of the word "jihad") not you Mr. President.

I post information related to c#.

As of last month I pledged to not cross-post and have not done so unless
replying.

Nymshifting and Trolling are not the same things.

The person you called a troll posted on topic and was not negative in any
way towards the linux platform or insulting to the original poster. He (or
she) just posted relevant facts that were not included in the original post.

You on the other hand posed as an Arab and stated that "your people" were
offended by Steve Balmer's use of the word 'jihad' because it was an insult
to "your religon".

Who's the troll?

His name is John Bailo and he's known troll here.  We just all killfile or
ignore him.  Hint: Filter on "262bffca" in the path because, as you
correctly observed, he nymshifts like crazy.
