!This is the second time you have made the statement "suspended for aiding a 
!series of break-ins in progress."  Yet when we ask you about the alleged 
!cracker making the break-ins, you say that you can reveal nothing because an 
!investigation is in progress.
!
!I'm sorry that it took me a day to notice the discrepancy.  
!
!You have already tried, convicted, and sentenced a student in a court of 
!academic justice for aiding someone who apparently has not been charged by 
!any academic or state judicial system.

	Big deal.

	Think about it.  Do the words "separate investigation", "plea
bargain" or "separate jurisdiction" mean anything to you?

	Jesus, folks....use some common sense.....
