Good Deeds

In the last 24 hours, I have given good advice to people. Sometimes I wonder why I do it, but it can be nice to help others. Yesterday I left a comment on Sandi's blog with a suggestion and explanation for the strange behaviour that someone had seen on their site (and claimed was a bug with IE7). It wasn't so much a bug in IE7 (although the Auto-Select behaviour in IE could be better), but a mistake on the website (the meta tag said to use a different character set to the HTTP header). I noticed my suggestion had been taken up, and it does appear to be working fine now.
I also replied to a message sent to the nmap-dev mailing list with suggestions on how to resolve the issue that the person was encountering on Vista. Gianluca replied to that with a nice way of testing if it is a privilege problem. And then Clement replied with an email that made me smile. It was unwise of the OP to throw in the phrase "Does anyone have any idea on how to get around this issue until the developers of nmap create a bugless version?".
