Here are some excerpts from an 11/30 article, "Student Accused of
E-Mail Revenge." Not directly related to this item, but I figured
co-op readers might have a passing interest in the story.
[In Newark, New Jersey, a Monmouth University junior has been accused of
sending 24,000 electronic messages to two administrators and crashing the
school's message system.
Dominick S. LaScala appeared in court earlier this week on federal charges
of using a computer used in interstate commerce to send data he knew would
damage a system, a felony, and of using a computer with reckless disregard,
a misdemeanor. He was freed on $10,000 bail. No plea was entered.
FBI Special Agent John Mahoney said in a complaint the messages were traced
through various Internet accounts in two states to an account maintained by
another Monmouth student.
AP says LaScala's own university computer privileges had been suspended for
ignoring requests to stop posting commercial messages on inappropriate parts
of the Internet. (FBI Special Agent Monica Baldwin said the student allegedly
was soliciting investors in a restaurant.)
School administrators haven't decided whether LaScala will face university
discipline, which could include expulsion. If convicted on both federal
counts, he could face a maximum of six years in prison and a $350,000 fine;
actual penalties would be far less under federal sentencing guidelines, AP
notes.]

So, my question is still, are we CREATING problems if we pursue this policy?
I see only arguments that some ppl like to cause problems. I accept that,
that's why this policy was proposed in the FIRST place !!!! I have seen no
one argue that we even MIGHT be creating a problem, and his only argument was
that ppl like to make problems. But that is not at issue.
