Hi David and Carl,

Regarding the appended message below, I have sent email to the user in question (Chris Scaffidi), and will speak to him personally the next time he comes in. He is a student hourly who works for our group. Thanks for bringing this problem to my attention.

Cheers, Bill Long Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Madison

I answered, telling him that I would try and find someone at the physics department to deal with this. I fingered the user, and tried calling the number listed, but he is not in the office. He does not have a home phone number listed with the university.

Please let Carl (and me) know when you have taken care of this. I know it isn't your fault... just something we have to deal with from time to time.
