*Ding!* We have a winner, by Godwin's Law[1]. You were the first to 
mention Nazis. Ergo, you have forfeited the discussion, and the thread 
is dead.

By the way, if you can't stand courteous advice without being offended 
(especially when couched with "this is my opinion, yours might vary"), 
you might stay away from public forums.

Pot == kettle?

And what, by the way, did your first reply in this thread (let alone 
your last one) have to do with "the point of the original post"... 
which was "Problem with NRPE"?
