Exactly. I run autoresponders for people who read my books, and now and then
I get a blast of messages from a school somewhere all saying things like "I
have to do this for Mr. Jones class". I can live with that, it's a mail
robot, but now and then they start demanding human responses, or something.
I even have some test mailing lists specifically for people to try
subscribing and unsubscribing to. I suppose it doesn't occur to some
teachers that out at the other end of the wire are individual volunteers, not
a huge faceless bureaucracy, but if they just asked before student-bombing
us, I expect nobody would have any objection.
