So high you can't say, huh? That's what I thought....
 
I'm glad they're careful, too... I wouldn't want them to, say, give
everyone 20,000 blocks by default. But I think they should be willing to
give more than 3,000 if it's being put to good use. I was told,
officially, that 3,000 was the absolute maximum any individual student or
student organization would be given (and that was an increase from the
default--utterly useless--1,000 blocks). If ASG has more, and doubltess it
does, then yes, it does have special computer privileges. How can you
claim otherwise? If I can go in, justify the same amount of space in my
(org's) account that ASG has, and be given it, then things are equal. But,
I can't. If you can prove me wrong, by all means, please do.
 
Regards,
Bob
