    You have heard of Munchausen's by proxy..

    Have you got users that want your attention by deliberately mucking things up? I swear one of my family member's does this... settings mysteriously change, files vanish or corrupt...

    So what is the name of this syndrome?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    How about a visit from the "delete fairies". They show up here some nights and delete peoples important files.
