Yap, where there's a phone listed, there's danger... or even worse,
e-mail!

Hey all,

I just thought I would send a quick reminder to my amigos on this list:
remember that this list is public and the contents are stored on the
icculus web site. Phone numbers, addresses, etc. which are listed on
these emails will be viewable by anyone on the net. I say this because
one of my emails to this list last week about bandwidth usage ended up
on several game admin websites last week. Harmless enough and not really
a problem for me in this instance (although a little irritating), but it
would have been a big problem had my telephone number been on the
post.......hate to be getting those 2am phone calls from new admins
looking to 'follow up' on my article on their website....LOL. Just saw
Eds' number listed and thought I would send a friendly reminder.....

Things I have noticed on my MOHAA server:

1.- Context Switches skyrocket 2-4 times during peak times.
2.- 30%-40% is spend on NICE (not sys, usr)

Issue number two I solved by re-niceing mohha to -20,  the first one I
have no idea...
