Nancy,

NB>A name that works... ;)   My Dad's last name was Elder, and he was an
NB>Elder in our church...  so he was Elder Elder...  What's more, he had
NB>two other (both younger than he) brothers who also were Elders in their
NB>churches, so he was the eldest Elder Elder.... :)

  Years ago, at a local church, I was responsible for getting the coffee
and donuts for the Single Adult Sunday School Department, which had
their "Sunday School" between the 2 morning church services. The Singles
Minister at the time kept saying "My Brother Darrell and the Other
Brother Daryl"...I had no idea what he was talking about.

  Then, one night, I stumbled on an episode of The Bob Newhart Show...

  "I'm Larry. This is my brother Darrell, and my other brother Daryl.
And, we come bearing unfortunate news. We had a grease fire down at the
restaurant".

  Another character (who looked like he had been on The Andy Griffith
Show years ago), asked "A Fire??"...and the reply was "No human
casualties. But, all of our major food groups were scorched"!!.

  I thought "Oh, no!!".

  But, one Sunday morning, I didn't make it there, as I was violently
vomiting. I heard that I was cussed out for not being there. Other
issues made me leave that church, but when I tried to return, they
showed me the door. Christians are the only army that buries their
wounded.

NB>Just to mentor, and get them started...  :)

  Exactly. I think this old geezer finally got the hint, as I haven't
gotten any further emails from him.

NB>Sounds like the mentor Sysop had left some back doors open to get back
NB>into the computer itself.... Had the thief sysop done what he should
NB>have, to secure his own system, the other couldn't have crashed him, I'd
NB>think....

  Exactly. I'm one who believes giving credit to where credit is due.
This "thief Sysop" was "too prideful" to admit that he had to have help,
and made it look like he did it.

Daryl
