Actually, that wouldn't be -too- bad. No one would probably even notice
anything had happened for one or two weeks (and then only because of
silence).
It would probably take about a week to satisfy red-tape requirements
(whatever they are; I'll have to find out) to assume permission to get
inside from the people who keep the locks on the doors (the ISP where the
server is co-located). Someone might have to fly to Boston and/or
Philadelphia to handle some of the red tape. I can't imagine anything
really bad happening inside of a week (or even two or three), becuase the
server can run and run and run unattended literally for months. The only
admin stuff that needs to be tinkered with to keep things running smoothly
is things like adding newsgroups from time to time, tending to the news-
posting-setup applications daily, and answering mail periodically. The
worst thing that could happen is if the disks filled up from too many news
postings. (And at the rate they're going now, that would take 15 years.)
