You are right.  This point is important simply to point out that they are
liers. A punk kid from Stanford or UIUC presumes to tell other sites how
to run their systems even though he has no say in running the .edu site
they post from--even was warned by their sysadmin that they may be spanked!!!

A real sysadmin has some authority to decide how to run their system, but
most of the control freaks on news.admin.* don't own their systems either.
Admins at .edu sites works for their users -- students (paying customers)
and teachers.  Admins at .com sites work for their users.  When they
forget it, they should be reminded.
