Actually, it doesn't matter how much you make per hour, the deciding
factor between exempt and non-exempt is how many (if any) people you
SUPERVISE.  No supervision of others, then non-exempt.

Now you and the employer may agree to some other definition, but that
is between you and them.

At my previous $DAY_JOB, a technicion who was classified as "exempt"
took $EMPLOYER to court over back pay, overtime, lunch breaks, et al
and WON.  (He had no direct reports...)

Sprint/Clear certainly thinks it has promise.  They just put up a
wireless tower just next door to my house in San Jose...  (Well, Clear
actually received permission from the city zoning dept...)

I don't have the message, but, a few days ago, there was a message from
Betty that basically said that the list was moving and that we would
have to recreate any individual settings...  And that would be a good

Because there are people left in the world that did not get the word
that the mailer was moving from merit->nanog.org.  So some forwarding
mechanism was left in place at merit so that mail to the old system
would get forwarded to the new system.

Frank found out that addresses of the form

To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 

were interpreted by Mutt to be TWO separate addresses - even though one
of them was a "constant" (thusly identified by the quote marks around
the text... and should have been ignored.  The "@" made Mutt think it
was an actual address that its' user mis-typed.  So to fix the user's
mistake, Mutt forwarded the mail to the mis-typed address.)

My diagnosis.  Sounds reasonable anyway.
