Here is what I would do for Mr. Burr. When a student gains access to a computer on my campus, the student agrees to abide by a set of rules which includes that the machine will be used only for instructional and research purposes. Obviously, the computer is often used for personal purposes the computer administrators know this. But when students or faculty abuse others administrators are likely to take action. So, I would write to the postmaster at the site where Mr. Burr has access. Describe the problem carefully, with due respect for Mr. Burr's rights. And urge the postmaster to bring this matter to the attention of the computer administrators. The administrators at Mr. Burr's site will have access to all his files and will be able to verify your assertions about his messages. I should think that they will also want to hear Mr. Burr's side of the story. There is much that they can do to Mr. Burr besides taking away access to the university machine he now uses. Hope this helps. -- Marshall Lev Dermer [Moshe ben Menasha]|Better living through community Department of Psychology |and positive reinforcement.
