jkinnell is still having a problem:
No No;

Damiano, as you will recall some years in the past a system programmer
brought down the American Airlines reservation system.  He was backing
up the system.  When he should have entered back up he keyed in restore
and blew the indexes to every reservation.

No reservation agent in 45 years of processing ever brought down the AA
system by deleting a reservation.  In software it is called integrity.

I have been Superuser in Unix systems,  I find Ubuntu's idea of sudo
great.  But, I was deleting songs from the application level, not at the
sudo level.  I should never be able to destroy the system.

Be that as it may, you are great to contribute you time to the further
Linux.  I want the system to grow.

Thanks,

Jack Kinnel
