(anon) This note was sent to a zillion groups individually (not even cross-posted.) THIS PERSON HAS NO ACCOUNT ON WORLD, NEVER HAS, NEVER WILL, we've never heard of him/her/it. The Reply-To: is either forged or there's some local machine somewhere calling itself world. I am getting a lot of reply traffic which is just bouncing. No big deal but if you were about to, don't bother. S/he's not here and we know nothing more about it than you do. If you want to try to send mail to gripe try using the From: address: superman@sys.uea.ac.uk or postmaster@sys.uea.ac.uk or whatever but my tendency would be to assume that what needs to be done is being done and there's no need to clutter the cross-pond link pointing out that this is obnoxious behavior, I think it's obvious. It would be nice to hear from someone who does know what the status is of this. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die, Purveyors to the Trade | bzs@world.std.com 1330 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02146, (617) 739-0202 | {xylogics,uunet}world!bzs
