When I've set up systems, I've always set up more than one user.  Even
though it's highly unlikely that anyone else would be using *my* PC,
it's useful for testing and debugging (you have an unsullied account to
test against, or one that you don't mind deliberately screwing up).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
