Gerry,

*groan* is right. I make it a policy to never send messages out that I wouldn't be willing for my dear departed grandmother to have been willing to read. <g>

Which, of course, reminds me of a non-computer-related boo boo I once did.. Grandmother was Catholic and one day I used the word "penguin" in front of her, naturally referring to nuns..

Lasted for about .5 seconds before my 96 year old grandmother tore me a new one. <g>

Best,

DD

>When I first started working at ARINC (Annapolis,MD), I was fairly inexperienced with various Novell network commands. When I discovered the SEND command, it was **supposed** to be a good thing. Now I could send quick messages to user(s). Great! I had a buddy in a building across the street who I would send nasty-grams to. One day he was signed in as GUEST (You KNOW where this is going, right?) and I decided to send him a whopper, which I did. I didn't realize GUEST can be used by lots of network users... and my message went to about 12 people. I didn't realize what I had done until I got an email (I was NOT signed in as GUEST) from a woman asking what she did that I was so ticked-off about. I didn't get canned, but I DID have to do a fair amount of apologizing that week - especially to her. Sheesh...
