OK, we've had our recent rounds of nominations for the
"Chutzpah" Awards. Maybe we should just call them the "Chutzpies".
It's time for a new class, the "Duh" Award. I bring this up
because it has happened to me twice in the past week and a half.
Most of of lists are closed to all but subscribers, SPAM being
the obvious reason. This has been made known to the members of the
various lists: they cannot post to the list UNLESS they are a
subscriber.
So, I get a message (this has happened twice from two different
people) from a subscriber: they are subscribed as xyzzy@foo.org (names
changes to protect the guilty). They also have another account with
another ISP, call it xyzzy@bar.net. They send a message from their
account at bar.net, and it bounces. They complain to me. I explain
that they are not subscribed at that address. "But", they complain, "I
am a subscriber to the list! At foo.org"...
DUH!!!
Happy Monday, all, if such a thing is not an oxymoron....
