How WinXP generates Activation Serials?

hi JMI, i don't mean to piss you off or anything,
but does this mean that if i have found additional resources for the topic at hand, i'll just suggest everyone to search for it themselves, inform them that i have something extra, but others will need to find that for themselves if they want to have it, to develop their "search skills".

i'm not trying to leech off somebody's effort, but in the spirit of knowledge sharing, is this a positive way to go about it?

i don't think we always need to be reminded of simple things and be treated like children all the time. just some constructive criticism.
