[TriLUG] automated response

[Tom Woods]

I couldn't agree more!

However, the original message stated, "So we're gonna get this through 
the 17th ! arg! "

My comments were  in response to this statement, not a defense of the 
out of office being sent to the list.  I was simply pointing out that we 
may not have continued to recieve the messages if the user had not been 
set to no email delivery on the maillist server.

My response was a technical comment, nothing more, nothing less.

Also, thanks to sholton at mindspring.com for posting the reference to 
http://www.goldmark.org/netrants/auto-resp/

I hadn't seen that page before.  It has some good info and history in it.
