I really wish you folks had better sense than sending any nasty letters, or for that matter, REACTING AT ALL, when somebody does loop messages from their mailbox-client to unintended destinations. Especially you, Aaron.. (Well, *you* can react by doing filtering at linux-kernel, but that is an off-line discussion topic between you and me.)
Due to the "little" burst of "junk", and "reactions", VGER had a queue of several *thousand* messages to handle, and it took a while to process them -- even with me manually scrubbing several of the messages, and heaps of reactions... Now the queue is back to zero.
I bet you sent the nastygrams to linux-users@linux.or.jp, which list has NOTHING to do with this case (aside of being place where the messages were sent 4 months ago.) The little I know of Japanese culture, I do suggest you send an apology letter to those innocent addresses you likely have offended.
I do know the real culprit source address, but these reactions you people have shown, does suggest to me that I should not reveal it aside of very few selected people..
