I say we move forward .... How about a ADMIN-Handle , a TECH-handle ,
CONT-handle , BILL-handle , SYST-handle , SRS-handle , OVER-handle ,
RESE-handle , and a ??? I'm forgetting something I know ....anyway we (you)
will need them all someday (not today... but I assure you somday) and when
you do get around to realizing .... realize that the right two-handle
combinations may be the key to happyness someday.... or at least avoid a lot
of grief. I have faith that ya'll will figure it out soon enough.
 I'm still wondering about whoshowthe mailserver ..... But, Please Please
stop refering to NIC-Handles just call them HANDLES or
SRS-Handles ..... Nic-Handles are old news you can do better than that.
Thank you
