I really do not think I can count on them to maintain the alias file to make my job easier. I would just end up with a lot of complaints about it not working and then end up having to maintain it myself anyway. I might as well save the time and frustration and do it myself. Sometimes it is just not worth it to try and delegate some tasks. I will now stop my gratuitous complaining and get back to work.
