hi all,

the fear that carol described above is not uncommon.  i saw it often when=
 i=20
was doing support for cybercash...admins who did NOT want to know anythin=
g=20
about the software that needed to be on their server.  it was quite amazi=
ng.

also, remember that most people stop learning as soon as they leave schoo=
l.
( which is an interesting thought about American culture ).

congrats on the award!
