Well, upon hearing of BART's demise, I fired off an angry and rather ill-considered letter to the malefactor. Surprise! He wrote back! I owe Mr. Hans Kaiser an apology, and I'm posting his reply to try to prevent other readers from making similar fools of themselves.

Reply-To: MAILSEQ:kaiser@suosws.enet.dec.com Dear Sir, I understand you are quite angry, but you first should hear the story from my point of view: I used the mail server for some time now with now trouble at all. During the last two weeks I've sent some requests across the network but got no response at all. After some time I thought they're lost, so I resent them. Now it seems as if these mails were not lost but terribly delayed, so they came to the server within a time fram of hours or a few days. -> I do not know why these mails were delayed! I'm not responsible for this! -> I did not intentionally go around any restrictions or quotas! I do not know how these restrictions work! I'm not interested in going around them! I've sent out my requests as I did in the past! I'm sorry if this caused you and other people a lot of trouble, but I used the server the same way I used it all the time before. This has nothing to do with Digital products! I hope this clarifies this a bit -Hans Kaiser Nate Calvin Desktop Network Products Oracle Corp. "We're well connected."
