...Say what?

So i manage the company's BlackBerry server. Most people take this to mean that i also know every minuscule detail about the handhelds, too, and make demands that i show them how to do generally reasonable tasks (ie, empty Deleted Items on the server from the BB so that their mailbox doesn't overflow while they're on a trip). No problem, i enjoy teaching people how to do things, and some of it you'd really have to sit down for a couple hours to figure it out.

My only question in is this: Why, given the nature of wireless, handheld devices, why would you need to put an Out-of-Office message on it?

You're quite right, there should be a suitable substitute available. However, this seldom seems to be the case.

I'm the only person dealing with web,domains,ipreverse,email,dns and abuse for an ISP.

I sometimes wonder what will happen the day I leave/get hit by a bus.

And that's the exact reason my dad used to be called in at all hours whenever there was a big problem. He was a manager in IS at a large insurance company.

He once had to go in for 11 hours on Father's Day. =\
