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..
