A) That's because acronyms are quicker to type into Google. E.g. if I reply
to a how to do ID glabally with LDAP that is because it is the std for
doing user authentication & frankly a quick search (given your MS bias
you could use MSN search) for LDAP & ID authentication may well give
you reams of usefull tutorials, howto'es etc.

B) Excellant as I will in future save my time & yours by keeping the 1%.
