- Hey! it's *sillier* than that!
- What about GROUP login.com files! *they* often have their own
- MOTD and clear away everything Yet Again..
-
- I can assure you that 'xx unsuccessful logins' wouldn't even
- register in the consciousness of most of the users here -
- it's LONG gone before they start to focus... :-}
-
- No point in thinking WHAT A STUPID THING.. It might be from
- *your* viewpoint - but it's NOT the groups... They don't care
- a hoot about you, or the sysop!!
