Hello.

In response to the below message, I have unmounted user.mycroft from
/afs/sipb/user/mycroft, in order to satisfy their request without
touching the contents of your home directory.

If you will permit me to rm the files and directory in question, I
will remount the volume, and I have told stopit as much. 

        - Nathan
