Evan,
>I do
*NOT* think that you should resign your SysOp tasks over this action, right or wrong. You took an action, using your best judgment AT THAT MOMENT, in good faith and after (I imagine) some thought about the action. Judges don't resign the bench because one of their cases gets overturned on appeal...neither should you, regardless of the outcome of this situation.
Well said... are you listening, John?
