I was not suggesting it was aimed at me but my point still stands. So what if 
some nodes don't have users all the time , they are just as important to 
those users who do only log on from time to time. Those SysOps should be 
applauded for keeping their nodes running with such low usage.

Well of course it's important to them, why should the same information not be 
available to them and their users  as other nodes? Why should any node be 
excluded from anything based on it's usage?

As for understanding how things work - That is down to lack of CLEAR 
information more than anything else. For instance where is a list of what the 
PC's are? From what I read it's always assumed that everybody is an expert 
and that is clearly not the case.
