>I am sure you have noticed, but in the past, many of these threads would have been frozen. But one of your [and others] influences as a previous SysOp was no censorship. You can be persuasive and have the ability to argue your points well. If you tell someone they have to do something [baseball bat approach], hell will likely freeze over before its done regardless of the urgency or critical nature. If asked or talked to in a rational manner, people will take that long walk off a short pier and enjoy the swim.
