No, I didn’t ask you to type “www”.

I admit that sometimes I go into “Help Desk mode” without thinking about it. I begin issuing precise, sequential commands and I feel silently indignant when they are not followed accurately.

But when I am working at the Help Desk, Help Desk mode is permanently switched on.

Therefore, don’t type “www” unless I tell you to type “www”.

    This wouldn’t be a problem if we just set a DNS record to point http://www.mail.utexas.edu to mail.utexas.edu .

    Sounds a little bit like librarian mode: “what you’re looking for is under cabet in the fiction paperbacks.” If you don’t go in that direction, I’ll assume you didn’t really want my help.
