Sorry Eric, but if you had read the parent article to this, it was me asking
for help on the subject. I had MANY responses from people, plus ones asking
me to post the information to them.  I posted what was the consensus of
information by all the people who posted to me. (about 6/7) NONE, mentioned
anything about it being malicious. It had no effect on any of our applications
so I felt that they were correct and that it was NON-malicious.
Someone has already posted a followup to the same article saying that it
was a pretty silly thing to say (about it being non-malicious).  Sorry Net, I 
can only act on information that I receive.
