This is what bugs me most about the Honor Code Office. Any respectable governmental system includes a regulatory mechanism for all of its bodies. In the case of a democracy, the government regulates the people, but the citizens regulate the government. The church has its ecclesiastical line of authority, which ultimately terminates with God (who obviously needs no regulatory mechanism). BYU falls more into the former category than the latter, which unfortunately most people don't quite understand. Hence, dealing with the HCO always leaves one feeling violated because the HCO is in many respects, a vigilante justice system. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
