Again, Matt, with all due respect, please do not post your operational
habits as universals.  Somebody who keeps a session to a server around
so they can see syslog messages if there's a problem may have an idle
connection for weeks.

In case you still doubt the existance of such a person, I give you a
counterexample.  Having just spoken with nemo, I am quite certain that
he is alive and well, and from my dealings with him have no doubt he
would become somewhat miffed if I were to kill off several of his
sessions.

Cheers,
joelh
