don't remember this world of banishment and exile you're discussing; the
NSFnet staff I dealt with were all friendly and helpful.
I plan to continue to "pay it forward", by being friendly and helpful
to "novice sysadmins". The curmudgeons in this thread can, frankly, get off

as we know it. This is a feature, not a bug.
