Ian, I know this is a NewsGroup, and technically what you have posted
here is "News", but please do not mistake the other readers here for
ones that give so much as a rusty nail about your tribulations at UH -
this is not solaris.admins.reunited. Please find a blog site that will
cosset you accordingly, and come back here only if you have a question
or statement of more merit.
