All,

This has blown hugely out-of-proportion. So I'm going to lay this straight out.
Firstly, yes how I created that account was dumb, and I apologies to
Scott[SJY] at the the time for the trouble it caused.
However, I created it as a contact account to help organise a club social event.

I have a class tomorrow at the same time as the committee meeting and
I have an assignment due in 3 days for CITS2232.
Because CSSE took a while to setup MySQL access at the uni servers I
have been using it at UCC.

My sudo access to add-user has been taken away and I won't (nor can't
do this again). So in light of this may I please just have my access
back so this can all just go away, and I can just get back to my
studies?
I promise I wont do anything to get the club riled up any more.

Sam.
