Re: [Sheflug] Re: New Sheflug List

Hi all...

Let me take the time to explain what has happened with the list - as far as
VUW is concerned.

I'm the Systems Administrator at VUW and thus responsible for the list
servers here.  Sadly, due to management running ITS (Information Technology
Services) like a business... the base line idea of Universities was lost.
That being the industry of education / knowledge sharing.

Some managers within ITS felt that sheflug [at] vuw.ac.nz was not beneficial to
the profit growth of the University, and ITS in general  Sadly this was out
of my hands and I had to mention to Richard I. that a new home for the list
should be found.  I delayed this move as much as possible... but the
impending time came for the change.

I apologise to Richard, and all of the list users for this, as the confusion
is probably justified.

Regards


Sean Liddall
Systems Administrator
Victoria University of Wellington.

P.S  I agree that damned hyphen is going to get annoying.

See above for some sort of explanation.  If you have any more queries...
feel free to contact me directly.

Cheers again...
