p.s. -- what's with XTC46?

could be just me, but this looks like a poor attempt at social-engineering. and what he is really trying to say is "Im a newb and dont know how to use any tool with out a button that says "scan" on it, can somone teach me how to port scan with nmap?"
XTC46 is merely displaying the standard amount of AO paranoia
Your post COULD be read as per XTC's post.

As I've posted elsewhere, we [AO] know nothing about each other, bar what we post / profile.
So, until you have been here a while, AND posted sufficient times to allow an educated guess as to your capability level and commitment to helping others ???

Then you WILL be thought of as social engineering .......
It just goes with the territory, it WILL pass, but it takes time, and effort from YOU.

[edit]
as for deleting ........
just go back to your OTHER post.
click the edit button at the top of the post.
Now check the DELETE this post option at the top.

DO IT NOW, as when you delete the first post, the thread is deleted as well.
and it's not considered to be good manners to delete someone else's posts.
So, soonest done, the less the damage

also double posting will generally attract negs, which while not fatal [in a physical sense] WILL have an impact on the way you are perceived.
