	To the person who complained about bureaucratic procedures, delays,
etc.:

	You are complaining because it all isn't on a computer. What if it
was? I don't see this as saving time. All it means is that the fifteen
people you had to talk to and bring papers to would have to be mailed to
and access keys on fifteen different machines would have to be checked.
Bereacracy exists to implement strict hierarchical systems and it doesn't
matter if it's on paper or in bits of data buzzing along a phone line.

				It isn't the technology, it's the system.
