>> > > And why do we need another list? T We don't as far as I can tell. But I went there to see what was going on, and this came back to me a few minutes later in a bounced email: <vanagon-request@freelists.org>: 206.53.239.180 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 554 <smtp.knology.net[24.214.63.101]>: Client host rejected: Access denied Giving up on 206.53.239.180. So, apparently they've managed to automate the insulting and put-down part of this list so that it doesn't take up valuable resources of their listmembers who can presumable concentrate on meaningful content. On this list, on the other hand, insults, typos, outbursts and tantrums must be thought up and entered tediously by hand, each one crafted to more of less fit the situation or person it is aimed at. Like John Henry and the steam hammer, we may be run out of business by a simple auto-abuser script that dispenses with the formalities and tells you you're not wanted right off the bat. Wonder what this auto-abuser would have done if the phrase "timing belt" had been found in my text? Sorry, wouldn't have been fresh on friday. Jim |
