What are you in a bizzarro world. I got the .com because I registered it.
I got the .org because Marco told me what it was (incorrectly) and I guessed it correctly.
I got the .net because you gave it to me, or kevin gave it to me.
As for reading your mail, screw you. I do not.
But I resign as your system admin. I'm not doing it any more. Change the
root passwords and I'm not touching your boxes any more.
I AM DONE. And don't worry about me going into your office any longer either.
I'm returning the key this week.
