This isn't a flame so perhaps I will be flamed for it, but I really
want to know.

Tim, don't you think there is a difference between trying to get
someone to voluntarily leave the network and going over their head to
their boss and having them terminated? Not that I like the brahms gang
but there seems to be a critical difference in methods here. 

It's all very nice for you to flame people from the safety of a
private machine run by one of the most liberal people around but it
seems a little cowardly. I only hope Matthew gets an account with
similar immunity one day.
