[geeks] ADMINISTRIVIA: VACATION MESSAGES

[Ken Hansen]

It is a question of percieved importance in relation to your co-workers... It serves no useful purpose *unless* you think you have subordinates waiting for your reply who *do not know* you are out of the office...

Has anyone every figured out what the purpose of these things are. If I'm
responsible for a large number of machines, do I really want people to
have an easy way to determine when I won't be reading every log. I disable
finger for the same reason. Why bother. Email is asyncronous for a reason.
I'll read it when I return to work.
