Good thing he *has* a lawyer, so someone can explain to him the difference
between slander and libel.

That's good. Your system administrator is supposed to monitor all your
communications, curtailing your rights to protect his? Aiding and abetting?
Give me a break . . . .

One way to check would be to ring up Mr. Schaefer.
