[news.sysadmin] A REAL PROBLEM!

ANKH@cup.portal.com (09/18/88)

Hi! I'm posting here at the recommendation of several of my Portal
Pals.

A bunch of us are having a real problem trying to keep track of
who is who. You see, the software here lets us use "handles"
kind of like CB radio, instead of our real names. (Although
we can use our real names if we want) 

We have these "XPortal-User-Id" things, but they are a dumb
number and it's hard to keep track of. The result of this
is we end up flaming each other trying to defend Portals
good name.

I've suggested to Customer Service here that they replace the
"XPortal-User-Id:" with our real names so we can keep track
of whats going on, but they did not seem very responsive
to just a single person and gave me the impression that if
a lot of people from usenet thought it was a good idea
then it might happen.

So I'm asking for your help (no, I don't want a dollar, that
was somebody else :-) :-) :-). If you feel this is a good
idea, please send mail to Customer Service at Portal saying
that you think this would be a good idea.

Thank you.

I don't think this system has a "root". (Bit of Australian humour there)
