  There might be a good case here for writing up a "nettiquette re
assasination" document for system administrators, and placing a
reference to it in the normal net ettiquete material.

  I would propose something of this sort:
	-- its you're system to administer
	-- we have a long history in this area
	-- here's some background
	-- kill cautiously!
