Marc, your comments don't seem to constitute a positive contribution to this
situation.  I, personally, can see no reason why a university should not help
out a smaller system trying to operate within their community, especially if
the cost to them is minimal (which I assume it would be). It would seem that
those persons who now run the computing facilities at that university are the
ones being, in your words, obnoxious. Perhaps you could suggest why they 
should not be helpful?
  Also, you say "don't come whining to us"; this would imply that you
represent the majority of users of this news group. Do you believe this to
be so? I am certain that there are many who do not agree with you, myself
for one. Next time you go to speak on behalf of us all, perhaps you should
consider if you are not just dragging us all along to support YOUR views.
