Who cares who the hell he is ? He asked a question about mechanism and
everyone in this list is all over policy ! Who the hell are you to tell
him what his policy should be ?

He's the admin. Likely as not it's not even *his* policy. He's probably
trying to implement something as distasteful to him as it is to you.
Where do you get the right to lecture him on his user's rights ? He's not
trying to restrict what they can do, he's trying to restrict what they can
do on the machines he administers.

Sheesh, I'm becomng a Usenet crank. I won't even bother to say "get a
clue", but I will suggest that folks get some context.
