Ok folks, I really was glad to see the mail I got from people
thanking me for posting some software for Macs last weekend.
But I get really annoyed at mail from these self-appointed
net administrators, like these:

Look Spencer, not every site gets all the news, and we didn't even
get net.micro.mac until two weeks ago!  And on top of that, many thanked
me for these postings - they obviously didn't have them.  I received some
stupid mail like yours a week ago.  Pretty short time for getting
more...

And now, to another self-appointed net.administrator:

Please post your mail to /dev/null where it will be appreciated! Thanks!

So there!
