It is kind of amazing how irrelevant and lacking in substance this discussion is.
It has been explained that the original offender's email server was configured in *stupid mode* because of damagement, not because of the techies. fyi: PHB = pointed headed boss ( http://kltp.kldp.org/eunjea/jargon/?idx=PHB ) to clarify: it is a complete outrage that an email server is set up to barf out a whole screen full of worthless, erroneous and time wasting "virus warning" messages back to a message sender *MONTHS* (almost a *YEAR*?) after a text attachment has been sent to the list. certainly the above situation qualifies for the WHAT THE F* award of the week, doesn't it? certainly the list owner's attention ought to be brought to bear on whether or not a subscriber ought to be allowed to remain if their system is generating such a huge pile of unwanted fecal material, and certainly consideration should be given to pressuring the email admin, or other f*ing d*kheads in positions of "respoinsibility" at said subscriber's corporation/organization into reversing their f*ing stupid email configuration policy, no? presumably an expression of outrage at the f*ing stupidity of said f*ing email server configuration would tend to put the issue on someones f*ing radar screen more than some "polite" request that everyone ignores? anyways, Tim was wrong in thinking that I was insulting fatcity's email admin. Tim's observations about language and tone were irrelevant and lacking in substance, and frankly, regardless of Tim's many other undoubtedly great/vast/endless virtues, culinary or not, I don't care about such ninny-like posturing and false rectitude anyway, so his advice was completely wasted on me. I'm sure everyone was infinitely amused and entertained by your story of being fooled into eating a dead animals' testicles (apparently that topic wasn't covered in 5th grade). regards, ep ORACLE-L Digest -- Volume 2002, Number 121 > ------------------------------ > > From: Mogens =?ISO-8859-1?Q?N=F8rgaard?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 18:17:09 +0200 > Subject: Re: ANTI-VIRUS SPAM - YOUR EMAIL ADMIN IS A DIKHEAD > > --------------030707020805030006050203 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > Sigh.
