I learn during the process.
That's how i deal with the situation.
I challedge my self and then try to confront the given situation _live_.

It's not wise to do so, but that how i operate.
Apart form that my customer's webistes have no problems, everyhting i do 
its domain specific, my domain, DNS and Mail issues for my domain, i 
don't play with customer's settings and data.

I have a good sense _not_ to fiddle with their accounts(except from the 
time that i have taken the risk to give you root access to helo me with 
a python issue, and you've "helped" me appropiately).
