This lecture you receive when you first use sudo can be applied to so many things:
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Blast from the past. How people noodled around on the fin-de-siècle net.
