That's probably not an accurate assumption. I know that a few years ago, a friend of mine, who was studying at the U was appalled to receive an email from a sysadmin chiding her for using swear words in her email. And this wasn't email to a public forum, listserv, or anything like that; it was just person-to-person email. It's not clear that sysadmins at the U are going to be more professional than RoadRunner's.... R
