He's out of the office.Of course it's annoying, but we've made far more posts about it than their out of office post made. :) And they'll be punished enough when they come back and see it, and think, Oh no, made me look like a total neWb or however the young folks spell it these days. I'm sure all of us have done, if not this, something equally embarrassing like posting a private reply to an email or doing dd with the wrong destination, etc. That's why I like where I work. The owners on down are technical people, and when one does something completely stupid, everyone knows that stuff happens. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

He's out of the officeLong ago when I was a beginner with technical mail lists I read, no I __studied carefully mail list etiquette. And stopping list delivery in case you set auto responder was one of the must do things. My feelings then were: if I forget to do that I may be kicked off the list and banned from subscription, which I considered quite fair thing. I seem to miss the moment when we started care more about the offender than we do about people whom the offender made suffer (seems to be in all aspects of modern world). Valeri
