I gather that further SLLING-L mailings will no longer trigger this massive 
overreaction, so I will send this to our list now.

I have just sent the following to the webmaster at Maree Madden's former 
location, with SLLING-L issues 19:6-14 included in the text (but NOT 
here!). And yes, by my count there ARE 99 of those automated replies. The 
total message to the webmaster is 126K. (If you're feeling nasty, you might 
do the same... but I'm not suggesting it.)

... and that's just to me. Every subscriber to the SLLING-L list or digest is 
receiving these. Your brain-damaged automatic responder --
