I think we can be QUITE sure about this, as the email address of the
original mail points to the Los Angeles Unified School District... and a
quick googling for the Email address also reveals 2 hits that seem to
indicate we aren't talking about a Teacher, either.

This brings up an interesting problem, though: As firewall admins, we
wouldn't want to give advise to (l)users trying to circumvent a firewall -
we should, however, discuss methods of doing so to find means of preventing
the circumvention. By doing this, however, we give any user who has
subscribed to the list the tips he needs to circumvent firewalls
administered by people who aren't reading the list.
