I don't condone the reaction of John Gilmore.  What I do wonder,
though, is why DoD hasn't ORDERED that this failed mail situation be
fixed because of the vast amount of net resources used in sending
advisory and failed notices.  It sometimes takes so much of the
resources here at Simtel20 as to stop all network terminal output for
30-45 seconds at a time during the period when the mailer is sending
those.
