	Well, this is the kind of responsible system administrator attitude
I like to see!  Do you _really_ believe that it is appropriate for a SysAdmin
to "mail-fry" anyone, for whatever reason?  With authority comes responsibility:
SysAdmins have a _greater_ responsibility to behave with decorum than the
average user.

	It's attitudes and actions like the above that prompts "twerps" to
complain about their local administrators.
