I don't think that Mr. Levadie is even trying to hold water with his flame.
Isn't this the same gentleman (a misnomer, if ever I saw one) who advocated
posting sources requests to net.sources.  I guess he is just one of those
discontented individuals who has to attempt at ruining the network for every-
one else.  Ignore him.  It works best.

I agree with Mr. Flax: our machine has a very fair administrator, one who
does not think that his time is best spent lording over the users.  Where
Mr. Levadie got his ideas about system adminstrators, I will never know.
Is Tek that bad? :-)
