No, a sysadmin should never cover up mistakes.  Otherwise you end up trying
to troubleshoot and fix the wrong problem.  We're all human and learning
how these systems break (which is rarely documented, even internally) so
mistakes happen.

Obviously Ben is a good sysadmin (from how well the site runs) and a great
sysadmin for figuring out and exposing the root cause so it could be
fixed.  If any of us are running the GNHLUG mailman server, we have shared
knowledge.  Great sysadmins help create more sysadmins.  Good ones just
keep systems running.

Thanks Ben!
