hi all,

the fear that carol described above is not uncommon.  i saw it often when i 
was doing support for cybercash...admins who did NOT want to know anything 
about the software that needed to be on their server.  it was quite amazing.

also, remember that most people stop learning as soon as they leave school.
( which is an interesting thought about American culture ).

congrats on the award!
