[Jim Kinney]

heh, heh.

I always thought it would be fun and informational to randomly add an
random upstream manager to the page list for a block of servers for a day.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
