Somewhere in that statement, there is a good joke about OIT.

While doing all this, be sure to at least attack the root of the REAL problem. 
Write OIT and tell them your feelings about having to authenticate once a 
week.  Also remind them that they have not been true to their word, which is 
when they first put the system in place over a year ago, they said 
authentication was only going t be once a semester (at least that is what the 
reps told me back then).  The statement at the bottom of the login screen 
about being required to login once a week at the beginning of the fall 
semester due to security concerns was a statement they put up in *Fall 2004*.  
Let's see... yep, it's not 2004 anymore.  It's almost 2006!
