	well, these two commands are ready.  give them a try, but 
remember its live--if each of us tries to adopt terry, terry will be a
congratulations message ;)

try:

mail majordomo@kauai.atinc.com 	<---------- KAUAI not kryten
mentor terry@where.ever.he.is
disown rush@he.still.yammers
end

syntax:
    mentor <address>
        Adopt a new FreeBSD user, answer his questions.
    
    disown <address>
        End an adoption.  see mentor.
        

	messages are sent to both mentor and newbie is adoption or 
disown'ing succeeds...else mail to mentor only

	anyone want to redo the text of these messages?


to do:
	nearly everything. ;)
	
next step:
	perl script to receive questions and divvy them out to mentors
	who have registered by subscribing to 'mentors'

outstanding issue:
	id tagging questions.  what about place the result of time() as 
the first word of the subject line.  if everyone responds, its always 
there for us--it can also be the name of the file that the conversion is 
recorded into.

	well,  i gotta sleep...attending SANS tomorrow provided my boss 
didnt freak overnight ;)))

	talk with y'all tomorrow night.
