Sounds good to me, although we get lots of requests to enable finger service
(requests which are, of course, denied - wouldn't help anyway) because people
are just trying to figure out how to e-mail their family members, etc.
I'd be real careful who I gave my memory core dumps to, and I'd never put one
out in the open without some editing, but its a creative way of giving callers the finger
(service).
