I always tell the newbies to send mail to "staff" about problems
that require a root-capable person to take care of.  Unless it's
literally an emergency, like the guy who's program had filled 23
meg on one of the drives, in which case I say, "write steve".  >8)
(Assuming he's on.)  I've even gotten a few help-seekers miffed
at me because I wouldn't tell them who the staff were.  (So they
could pester them directly, rather than mailing staff.)
