Hi, linux-newbies! I rceived the message below from the originator of the "hey jerkoff" chain of messages that beseiged us yesterday and last night. Apparently, he was sending a message from himself to a friend and (duh) something went very wrong. I sent a complaint late last night to [EMAIL PROTECTED] about it. See, complaining to the postmaster *does* work, sometimes. --- begin forwarded message --- %kurt, % %Please accept my apologies for the messages. They are not spam. Just a %message from myself to a friend of mine. % %I have no clue how it happened, I'm just glad they stopped. I've been %writing about 300 apologies since last night. It seemed to have been sent %multiple times to multiple lists to which I don't subscribe. % %Again, I'm VERY SORRY. Honestly an uninteded error. % %I have posted apologies to some lists, but not all as I don't know how %many it has reached . Please let whatever list you received know that I DO %NOT and will not propogate spam! % %Thank you very much for your understanding % %vince --- end forwarded message --- I'm convinced that a chance misalignment of the planets set up a magnetic field that mirrored this guy's private email message all over the world. I bet he's hatin' it right now. -- Kurt Wall Informix on Linux FAQ - http://www.xmission.com/~kwall/iolfaq.html Spanish Translation - http://www.xmission.com/~kwall/iolfaqsp.html
