Why is APS senior administrator Tom Ryan YELLING at APS employees?

The following was forwarded to me with the explanation that it had been sent to all APS employees by,
APS Chief Information Officer Thomas Ryan Ph.D

APS employees,

Another reminder to all employees that the APS email system is for APS job-related functions. It is NOT to be used to voice your political views or for expressing political opinions. You are encouraged to use your own personal email accounts (gmail, yahoo ...) to contact legislators but, NOT your APS account.

What is the point in YELLING at everybody?

The overwhelming majority of the employees he emailed,
haven't even done anything wrong.

Petty? If this were a fluke, yes, maybe. But it isn't.
It is in fact, a reflective example of the attitude overall,
of senior APS administrators toward the great unwashed.

** Never Email Your Password or Username **Monday, February 2, 2009 3:14 PMFrom: "Demetrius Brandon"



Never! Never ever! Never ever, ever! Never ever, never ever, should you respond to any email that requests your email password or username!



Several APS users have again become victims of phishing emails that seem to be official and that kindly requesting that they respond with their email’s username and password. When the scammers obtain this information, they will then log into the email accounts and send out tons of SPAM. This results in APS being declared a SPAMMER by email companies. Currently, APS emails are being rejected by some email providers, like Hotmail, MSN Yahoo, Earthlink, etc. With considerable effort, we should be able to get this resolved, within a few days.



The APS Technology Department will contact you, by phone, if there is ever a need for your username or password.



So again, never! Never ever! Never ever, ever! Never ever, never ever, should you respond to any email that requests your email password or username!
