No, you do usermod -a -G.  First of all type 'man usermod' to make sure
you're comfortable with what you're doing.  I in no way wish to disclaim
responsibility, but you should always look up commands you're told to
run on the 'net first.

Try and put everything back the way it was.  If you're back in the admin
group, you can remove the specific line there for user sid.  You can of
course leave it there and it will cause no harm.
