       5.     Use step 4 and if the problem persists and  is  not
              secondary  to  a  rogue program/daemon get a 3.5 ft
              (approx. 1 meter) length of sucker rod* and have  a
              chat with the user in question.

              Sucker  rod def. -- 3/4, 7/8 or 1in. hardened steel
              rod, male threaded on each end.  Primary use in the
              oil  industry  in  Western  North  Dakota and other
              locations to pump 'suck' oil from oil wells.   Sec-
              ondary uses are for the construction of cattle feed
              lots and for dealing with the  occasional  recalci-
              trant or belligerent individual.
