-
- You mean that they weren't really "afraid of change", as you claimed in
- your FTP statement? (Get /classes/statement from soda.berkeley.edu via FTP.)
-
- By the way, why am I still able to snag a copy of your "now obsolete" bootleg
- copy of the Schedule from soda.berkeley.edu? This illustrates my point per-
- fectly; here's a document that should (no, make that *must*) be maintained
- in a timely manner, and you show complete disregard for that need. Providing
- out-of-date information is not a service at all..........that's probably why
- the Registrar didn't want multiple copies floating around outside their con-
- trol.
-
- I think that the Registrar's Office showed far more concern for the *real*
- needs of the students (timely, accurate information) than you did.
-
- >We need to work on other issues.
-
- "I don't think I was wrong, but I don't want to talk about it any more." Feh.

-
- I wouldn't have any problem with a *controlled* online copy of the phonebook.
- We have this at UK, and it is regularly updated. I'd hate to see bootleg
- copies floating around without updates.......could make for some real con-
- fusion. As a sysadmin, I don't even want to *think* about the massive disk
- crunch when a few dozen students decide that they have to have a personal
- copy.....

-
- "have to harass"........that's just a great attitude, isn't it?
