Maiden Names

Hello Managers ...

About a year ago I made the unwitting mistake of posting a message about
how to change user names (i.e. maiden to married names) on DU 3.2. Since
that time, I have received numerous personal messages from people trying to
track down long-lost relatives. I can only assume that people searching on
"maiden names" in a search engine came up with my message posted to the
list, as well as my old (ironically, MY maiden name) e-mail address. As a
result, I feel somewhat reposnsible for the following message.

I am wasting the bandwidth with this apology for my underlying motive: I
hope that now, when someone searches on 'maiden names' they get this
message, too, and realize that I DO NOT know how to track down people any
more than the average net surfer! In addition, this is a list for
PROFESSIONAL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS with SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR issues!!

Well, I think I have finished my rant, so I will bid you all a good day and
an apology for wasting your (as well as my) precious time.

Regards,

        Sheryl

P.S. BTW, when I reply to the person who sent us this, I will be much
kinder -- since we all make mistakes. This rant was meant for future
readers. :)
