Hello.
There is a little system called "Central America" run by a few athena
users. Once a day, this system looks through all of the publicly
readable .plan files on athena, and logs the ones that were changed in
the past day. These logs are kept in a discuss meeting, so that
anyone can enjoy all the new .plan files.
This mail is being sent to people who change one line in their .plan
file every time they log in. You can create a one-line file in your
home directory called ".project" which will be sent to people who
finger you along with your .plan. I would like to ask if you would
please use the .project file to tell people when you last logged in.
That way, your .plan file would only change when you actually change
it, and the Central America logs would be more correct.
If you don't want Central-America to ever log your .plan file, please
send mail to ca-maintainers@athena.mit.edu and they will tell it to
ignore your .plan.
P.S. The logs are in the meeting charon.mit.edu:/usr/spool/discuss/ca.
P.P.S. This is not an official athena service, it's simply something
a few people do because they want to, and you can happily ignore us.
Thank you and have a nice day.
