 DS> Years ago, at a local church, I was responsible for getting the
 DS> coffee and donuts for the Single Adult Sunday School Department, which
 DS> had their "Sunday School" between the 2 morning church services. The
 DS> Singles Minister at the time kept saying "My Brother Darrell and the
 DS> Other Brother Daryl"...I had no idea what he was talking about.
 DS> Then, one night, I stumbled on an episode of The Bob Newhart Show...
 DS> "I'm Larry. This is my brother Darrell, and my other brother Daryl.
 DS> And, we come bearing unfortunate news. We had a grease fire down at
 DS> the restaurant".

Ah...so that's where that came from.... ;)

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

A groaner, to be sure....

 DS> But, one Sunday morning, I didn't make it there, as I was violently
 DS> vomiting. I heard that I was cussed out for not being there. Other
 DS> issues made me leave that church, but when I tried to return, they
 DS> showed me the door. Christians are the only army that buries their
 DS> wounded.
 
That church doesn't sound all that Christian to me.... just because
someone takes the name doesn't mean that they truly are.... and sadly
there are many "churches" like that.... I'm sorry you were burnt by
them.... 

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

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

I'm not sure that it totally justifies the mentor Sysop's actions,
though.... Sounds like a bad situation all around....
