[CentOS] Yogunluk

2008-06-27 Thread Ross S. W. Walker

Somebody needs to remove this guy from the list.

There is some dumb auto-reply rule either him or one of his sophomoric 
co-workers setup on his mail client.

Mailenable.  The four auto-replies to his auto-reply was great!

They are already aware of it, but the person who's responsible for the 
list doesn't seem to be available at the moment.
Best to stop (or at least reduce) posting until this idiot got removed.

If I send him a message directly, and put him in the CC line too, will it
start a loop of auto-replies...?  
How about I set up an account somewhere (gmail..), turn on a vacation
message , and then send him a message.
Just thinking

I setup [EMAIL PROTECTED], turned on the vacation responder, and sent him a
message.
Unfortunately (smart they are) Gmail detects the issue and stops the loop
(although I replied to it a few times..)
Anyway I cc'c the other addresses, maybe he'll get the hint...
Gonna go find something to do...

And we intend to keep it that way by not having to pore through useless
automated trash postings caused by some "non geek"(?) having the
attention span of a gnat and forgetting to account for things like these
lists in his stupid vacation (or whatever) automated replies.

Alternately, we could avoid posting about such stuff until the
responsible list person is able to handle it. But where's the fun in not
picking on some hapless idiot?

I think people who use auto responders for their normal email account should
get an additional email account, for the mailing lists they subscribe to,
and NEVER use an auto responder on the email account for their mailing
lists.  This happens frequently, on this mailing list and on others.

What was really bad - I worked at a company that had the bright idea of 
automagically copying the marketing director with all tech support mail 
so that he could see the kinds of issues customers were having. I have 
no idea what they were thinking, it seems to me those kind of e-mails 
would be useless.


Anyway - he went on vacation, and every customer mailing us with a tech 
support issue got an auto-responder from him stating that he would get 
back to them in 7 to 10 days ...

Michael: I thought the job of Marketing people (or so they would like to
think) is to give the Engineering staff a set of specs, a budget and a time
frame, that probably cannot be met; while promising everything to the
customer, to get the sale. Lanny

No. I worked in R&D (mostly Aerospace) and I'm now trying to reenter the job
market. Almost always, I found that those of us in Engineering  were trying
to comply with requirements that Marketing had given away to the customer
and we couldn't complete the task within their time frame or budget.
Marketing will do anything (usually) to make the sale and then the Engineers
try to get it done on time and within the budget. Remember the comparison
between Engineers and Mushrooms..

I wish you good luck on the reentry (there's a pun there... aerospace).

Having been a mushroom... er software/systems and many related for a
long time, I know whereof you speak. That's what prompted me to add the
adjectives and the attempt at humor.

Bill: Thank you! It's an *uphill* battle. When the right Manager sees
something on my resume that he/she needs for a project, it'll click.  My
wife and I are fans of the Space Shuttle program  and we were at KSC to
watch  a launch of Atlantis on 19 May 2000, when she was pregnant.  Reentry
is difficult!  Launch is also incredibly dangerous. On TV, it looks almost
routine

I read something in an IEEE publication, about 2 years ago, that I gave to a
high school boy who lives in our subdivision, who was interested in going
into Engineering, about why someone would go into Engineering, when they
could become a doctor or lawyer or some other profession, with more
stability and respect than Engineers frequently get.. This is way OT for the
CentOS list... Lanny
