Hi everyone, for some reason I woke up at 3:30 am and read mail. Don't ask.

-----

For those of you that want to mailbomb the prick:

Don't, mail is kept on our system in /usr/spool/mail/$USER, which is a
shared disk. There is no limit on how much mail you can get. Thus, if
the prick is bombed, you fill up the disk, which causes everyone else
(including me) to puke on mail because there is no room. This would be
bad. I cosinder it better form to run crack on his password, log into
his account, and alias 'rm' to 'rm -rf $USER', or use stty to change
it so that the ^M sequence becomes a series of exclamation points (thus,
every time you press return, you get '!!!!!!!!!!' on the screen, and you
can never accomplish anything on the system.)

Also, and I promised myself that I wouldn't do this, but I guess I lied,
this is my snail address (some people wanted it for legitimate terms,
some teased me with gummy bears :-)

It is now time to go back to bed and sleep the rest of this alcohol off
(I really needed a drink last night after what happened, and I found some
really cold beer in my frige and a frosted glass in my freezer. Most
enjoyable, even for American beer).
