agreed. however, i only got a single email, not the 20 you mention (though
i agree that would be annoying).

sorry about my little sysadmin rant. i did *not* mean to make it sound like
i wasn't grateful for the hardwork that's been over the past couple of
months. i'll admit that when i originally wrote that i was really very
tired and frustrated with the situation.

yeah, it was an extremely useful tool for content that needed to be
implemented. i had some free time and decided to whip it out. i even
learned a thing or two in the process.

you've already got a big enough load as it is. while it may be prudent for
you to have some form of access should the need arise, i don't think it'd be
fair to give it to you with the idea of it being another task for you to
shoulder.
