These emails are not from a mailing list that anyone is subscribed to. The original email contained the keyword Students as a recipient which is reserved by the email system for administrative uses. I'm not sure how Ms. Belka was able to use this keyword to broadcast this message but it will be looked into tomorrow morning. Please do not send any more messages asking to be removed and please do not reply to the original message. Thank you.

Plus (I didn't mention this, I wasn't sure how) that one new fellow on campus earlier in the year told me whilst visibly upset that he was switching to Chattanooga State because he went to some IT person (didn't say who) to ask if/how to use his USB keyfob in the lab computers and was told to get out of his office.
On the other hand, somehow we actually got five (five!) computers in a lab (in a lab!!) to do with as we please. It's been stated they're in the "networking lab," so I'm not sure they're actually hooked up to the campus network and thereby the Internet or only to each other. The latter is only useful in a networking lab, after all. I suppose perhaps it's partly to do with that we had a full lab of Red Hat 9 boxes on the campus network over the summer and no one ran a MUD or defaced web sites or anything. It's due in no small part to Dr Andy wanting more of this last paragraph and less of the previous ones, and as acting department head being in a position to actually do things.
