You know, I used to think jp2 was a pretty swell candidate for the Board
of Directors. Despite being much maligned and abused on this system,
he's continued to offer his services and suggestions, even when other
people don't adopt his solutions simply because he's the one who
proposed them. But let's face it: The ones that have been implemented,
such as closing the censor log, have greatly benefited the system, and
there's no indication that his other unadopted suggestions wouldn't have
had helped just as much. Clearly, jp2's someone with great great ideas
other people simply don't have.
But I was -- and I don't normally admit things like this -- wrong. See,
in addition to having good ideas, a BM must also have basic respect for
the system. I realised to-day when I noticed /a was filled that jp2
simply doesn't have that:
bash-2.05$ cd ~jp2/jbbsdir
bash-2.05$ du
1512 ./yapp
14 ./confs/jbbs
7 ./confs/polytarp
22 ./confs
648727 .
bash-2.05$
That's a listing of the ~jp2/jbbsdir. While I have gone over the honour
quota before -- no-one's perfect -- I am shocked at the egregiousness
of jp2's offense. He has nearly a gigabyte of files when the quota is
merely a megabyte! Is this really the candidate you want running Grex?
I hope he gets less votes than last time he ran.

Uh, I don't think it's reasonable to elect to the Board people who run around
making spurious accusations, jp2.

jp2, maybe you could try taking responsibility for your own actions, rather
than others.

What explains the idiocy of leaving world-writable files in your home
directory?

My guess is he was running a private copy of yapp. Doing that usefully does
sort of require letting other people write to files in your home directory,
I would think.
To me it looks like just a little bit of fun that go out of hand. I can't
think of anything about this that really violates Grex policy.

It looks like jp2's up to his old tricks again. These repeated denial
of service attacks are getting tedious.
gull, maybe you don't understand how debilitating having a partition
filled is.

Oh, I do, but he corrected the problem once someone made him aware of it,
didn't he?
I've disagreed with jp2 a lot in the past, but I seriously doubt he'd
deliberately fill up a partition with trash.

I doubt it's jp2 filling up the disk. However, I've sent him a message about
the problem.

Good idea. I wouldn't trust jp2 for a second. He'll encourage you to violate
all sorts of rules and laws.

Oh please. For it to've happened TWICe, jp2'd've had to have left world
writable files around AFTER he already had a problem with that. I
think jp2's technical acchievments (writing software for OpenBSD,
sattelite launching, etc.) would leave him that technologically clumsy.
Frankly, it's obvious jp2's purposely leaving around world writable
files, and either fattening them either tacitly or himself.

And of course, the wonderful GreX staff has decided, once again, to impose
their interpretations of their "rules" onto the GreX public. Instead of those
files being deleted, they were simply left alone! And yet, users can have
their passwords reset _ON THE FIRST GO_. Preposterous!

"About James Howard

metropolitan area in 1998 to attend the University of Maryland,
graduating in 2002 with a bachelor of science in mathematics. He knows
Unix inside and out having run an ISP for a long distance company,
designed protocols for satellite communications, and served as a member

multiple government agencies in the Washington-area, served on the board
of directors at Arbornet, held political appointments at the local
government level, and designed portions of the OpenBSD operating system.
Today, he's a mathematical programmer at the Federal Reserve."
Is that the sort of person who'd make such an elementary slip-up? I
think not.

Ah HA! Before you were claiming it WAS me who did it, but now, when
called on it, can't prove it. Is this how you'll conduct yourself as a
member of the Board of Directors?
