  14. : program named "shit".  It had been placed in the background, and 
  15. : it required several hours of runtime.  I sent the owner of the pro-
  16. : gram a note, explaining the complaints; I also mentioned that, while
  17. : I didn't plan to "take any action", any further complaints would be
  18. : directed to him.  In his reply, he apologized (he didn't realize that 
  19. : other users could see his command names via ps) and changed the name 
  20. : immediately.
