I'd like to add that I have a hard time believing that anyone's behavior could ever get to the point where either of the following actions is justifiable: (1) Recommending that someone's net privileges be taken away. (2) Writing to the local system adminsitrator to complain about someone (which amounts to exactly the same thing as #1, and in my experience has been known to lead to it.) The only grounds I could see for either action would be libel. -- Tim Maroney, Electronic Village Idiot {ihnp4,sun,well,ptsfa,lll-crg,frog}!hoptoad!tim (uucp) hoptoad!tim@lll-crg (arpa)
