Delayed mail from GNHLUG?

[t.littlefield at comcast.net]

True... but I always thought it was a massive faux pas for a SysAdmin to actually admit it was his mistake.  It's never the admin's fault, some user did something bad.  I'm sure if Ben reviewed the logs closely enough, he could finger point.

He just took the high road so as not to embarrass someone on the list!

Kudos Ben!

With all due respect to other nerds on this list, from what I have seen of Ben's information and help over twelve years entitles him to endless nerd points. He gets a permanent free pass.

Fortunately, the nerd points that Ben lost by committing an elementary 
sysadmin mistake he got back through the form of his apology.
