Gee whiz. What a coincidence. I too have a server
that reached into a msg from Patrick Moran and
triple-posted an obituary, resulting in a msg
of nearly 38k(!). Would this be the same Patrick
Moran who just weeks ago was posting encoded HTML
--in his *sig* already, as I recall--to the list, then
complained that subscribers who objected had faulty
email clients? Do I detect a behavior pattern here?
Worse yet, my server also reached into Stuart
Cox's response and *triple-posted the very same
obit*, generating a msg of nearly 39.5k (!!!). Mr Cox
kept faith with Mr Moran right down to reposting
sp*m on behalf of Mr Moran's ISP.
Is it too much to ask you dudes to brush up on your
netiquette, not to mention your computer skills?
*Please* review what you're posting before you hit
the send button, quote selectively, and have some
consideration for your captive audience.
(And why, you may ask, is sp*m sp*lled th*sly ab*ve?
Sp*mmers m*st h*ve beg*n declar*ng thems*lves *p fr*nt.

I'll point out that it will be a week before any
rejoinders reach me. ... Ciao. --a
