Thanks for getting that taken care of.
However, I don't think he sounded like a jerk.

Your probobly right. After getting the blood level in my cafene system down 
to an appropriate level, I see that he, David Peat has a valid point about a 
possible threating comment. I was a bit hasty with the letter last night and 
my "jerk" comment to this list. I apologise to everybody.

Just to set the record stratght.  Now you know "The rest 
of the story"
 
This email exchange took place BEFORE he posted the message of what a 
"jerk" I was.  It sounds like he is on some kind of a crusade.  You be 
the judge!
 
>>>From me to Douglas>>>

Douglas,
Chill out- I don't believe I was getting nasty at all.  
This wasn't a "F*up" on any server at all, it was "A USER" - "ONE USER" on a 
personal desktop configuration who had created a rule for auto-reply.  I 
understand the issue, I subscribe to the list myself and yes, it is 
annoying.  If you meant it as a funny comment, then I apologize for 
mentioning it, but again, I am thankful for you bringing this to my attention so 
the problem could be resolved.  Incidently, others had replied to that 
individual himself and he was aware of the problem as soon as he got to work 
this morning and the issue was resolved.

This was a simple mistake and the problem has been fixed.  We thank you for
 bringing it to our attention and we appologize for any inconvience this has
 caused.  In the future, threats are inappropriate, (I wouldn't want to think
 what they might do, if this isn't addressed soon.), so please avoid them.

Dear sirs

Below are some samples of an irritating auto reply that appears to be coming
from a machine on your URL. Could you investigate this please?
The natives of this list are beginning to complain, and are getting restless.
I wouldn't want to think what they might do, if this isn't addressed soon.
The stupid " fred " we are getting is only coming from this email address;

"Rich Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and from no other source.

Right.

And thiokol.com belongs to Morton Thiokol a US military and NASA
contractor company. I expect a note to the administrative contact at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would get a speedy response. However, as it is now
after 09:00 in Utah, I suspect Mr. Jones has figured out that he has
erred.

For more information, run: "whois thiokol.com".

Meanwhile, it is rather counterproductive to put out messages to the
effect of "what is this stuff" because all that does is generate new crud.
