In fairness to John Snyder, before we all send him messages
containing lots of four letter words on his return on Nov 6,
we should remember that while his error was _dumb_, it was
not malicious and was an error most of us could have made
if our brain really wasn't fully engaged - as mine occassionally isn't.
Actually, now that the robot is dead, I beginning to find the
entire episode both amusing and educational. Technology run
amuk! Welcome to the information Superhighway. (Just how many
times _could_ that robot message have been generated between
now and November 6, anyway? 6.023 x 10 ^ 23?)
Note for Al: Does your major domo server have the equivilent of
the NOMAIL command used by some of the Listservers to turn off
mail from the list temporarily? I tried the NOMAIL message with the
WW1 list before I went on vacation but your server rejected it.
Maybe that's what happened in this case.
