This brings up an interesting point.  As a home user on my own
GNU/Linux box, I am of course the administrator as well as the
user... also I have no kids that I want to administrate not to see
porno sites, etc.

Anyway, I'm guessing that the vast majority of wwwoffle users use it
because they have a modem, etc. anyways, they can afford a 24-hour
connection.  OK, these same users are probably all home linux box
users...

Anyways, my point is I bet these administrator things are only used by
5% of wwwoffle users... could wwwoffle be more powerful if freed of
these restraints?  [No, I don't also recommend that UNIX be all root
and no separate accts. like DOS]

On the other hand, lets say India is full of many users and one
modem... who knows.  Or for "WWWOFFLE -- Family Edition[tm]" [Yo,
Andy, did you grab the wwwoffle.com oops I man wwwoffle.org domain
yet?] one indeed wants an administrator...

OK, just curious, is my 5% guess right?

Hmm, I bet the reason AMB added the administrator stuff is to keep his
kids from browsing wildly?  OK, I suppose there are some offices
connected by modems with one PC shared... hmmm... lots of situations I
have no idea about sitting on my mountain top here.

And of course I'm sure wwwoffle has its uses even after one has 24/7
connectivity.  By the way, it's "56K for life" for me, as I'm too far
from the telco switch to use others, plus stingy.
