Hi --
I just wanted to drop you guys a note suggesting that the finger
@athena service be replaced not by the mit.mit directory, but by
something like the electric monk (finger yourself@monk.mit.edu).
In the past both as a student and support-staff member, I have
found the athena finger information vastly more timely and useful
than the mit.mit directory. I believe this is because the athena
finger information was directly editable from the user's athena
acct., and thus students did in fact keep it up-to-date. I think
it would be a shame for this useful resource to go away.
Yours,
Vanessa Layne
