How can anyone who is not personally  involved with the decision to trash Dr.
Gelson's  account could  fault  Mr. Gomide  in this  matter?  Surely, if  Dr.
Gelson was  not treated  fairly by Mr.  Gomide, he could  take the  matter up
with Mr. Gomide and  higher management there. I am not  sure if my employer's
rules  are any  different  than anyone  else's,  but we  would  never boot  a
legitimate user off one of our systems unless we had damned good reason to do
so and could justify it to our Vice President if necessary.
 
It seems obvious  to me that Dr.  Gelson is not qualified to  teach a network
course.  Now that  I think  about it,  it also  seems very  strange that  Dr.
Gelson asked  for donations directly  to him, and  not to his  employer? This
idea of helping offset the networking  costs there seems mighty strange given
the fact  that he wanted  the checks  in his name.  Hmmm. I suspect  its what
got him  in trouble, not the  mass cross-posting of the  announcement per se.
