  1. I admit that I am powerless over the internet and that my life has becomeunmanageable.

  6. I am ready to have the System Adminstrator remove my unauthorized accessrights.
  7. I humbly ask the System Administrator to remove my low bandwidthconnections.
  8. I have made a list of all systems I have visited without permission and amwilling to remove their system passwords from my public web page.
  9. I am making direct amends to such systems except when to do so would bringdown a system.
  10. I am taking a personal computer inventory and when one is underpowered, Iam promptly admitting it.
  11. I am, through e-mail and web visits, seeking to improve my communicationwith the System Administrator as I understand him/her, asking only for rootaccess.
