c = "When tech support sends you an e-mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing out the public groups."
d = "When a tech is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts out. We exist only to serve."
e = "When a tech is having a smoke outside, ask him a computer question. The only reason why we smoke at all is to ferret out those clients who don't have e-mail or a telephone line."
f = "Send urgent e-mail ALL IN UPPERCASE. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery."
g = "When you call a tech's direct line, press 5 to skip the bilingual greeting that says he's out of town for a week, record your message, and wait exactly 24 hours before you send an e-mail straight to the director because no one ever returned your call. You're entitled to common courtesy"
