Message-ID: <14657@bfmny0.UU.NET> Date: 12 Sep 89 13:01:19 GMT References: <7921@medusa.cs.purdue.edu> <1650@unocss.UUCP> <4347@utastro.UUCP> Reply-To: tneff@bfmny0.UU.NET (Tom Neff) Organization: ^ Lines: 12 Summary: Expires: Sender: Followup-To: One problem with automated complaint scripts is that, to the extent they get around into general usage, you start levying email in flood volumes comparable to that displaced by a news article itself. We all agree news is more expensive than mail because it floods. The potential for automated complaint mail overloading leaf sites is overwhelming. We do not need to invent new species of rudeness, enough exist already. Better to filter the venial sins silently and let software attrition run its course since Re^n is known to have been fixed. -- Annex Canada now! We need the room, \) Tom Neff and who's going to stop us. (\ tneff@bfmny0.UU.NET
