Don't fall for it. See what Jens Thoms Toerring wrote in the last Bill
Cunningham and sockets thread.

Given that M. Margolin hasn't done the Googling, yet:

The truth is that you were "studying sockets" six years ago in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 and
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ole, where you were asking Win32
programmers WinSock-flavoured versions of the questions that you are now
asking Unix programmers. Your postings would have the world think that
you have made zero progress in learning how to compile even basic C
programs in eight years, when you first started talking about how you
were using DJGPP and mingw. Indeed you are trying to convince people
that you have less grasp of things now than you did when you were
talking about recompiling gcc in comp.os.linux.development.apps in 2005,
or about the Standard C library in kernel-mode code in comp.lang.c back
in 2003, or about microkernels in comp.os.linux.development.system in
2002, or about how to use DJGPP in comp.os.linux in 2002, or about Win32
API programming in comp.programming in 2002.

More and more people are not going to fall for this any more. Jens
Thoms Toerring has sussed you. santosh and Mark McIntyre sussed you in
2005. They'll all no doubt be disappointed to learn that it took them
longer than Eric Tomson, who sussed you in 2002 when you asked Linus
Torvalds silly questions on the IETF mailing list.
