Just in case those rude emails really did come from a Princeton faculty member, I tried the following email using the last name of President of the University. It hasn't bounced yet.
John -------- Original Message -------- From: John Carline <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Princeton's reputation To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sir, Since I'm certain that the reputation of Princeton is of concern to you, I thought I'd forward a few samples of the many rude email that *may* have been sent to a mailing list by one of your faculty members. Messages that make Princeton look..... Ummm? Lets say not quite dignified? Points to ponder if the messages really came from Jim Kroger: 1) The bottom of every message explains that to unsubscribe the message must go to "debian-user-request" not "debian-user." No one on debian-user can subscribe or unsubscribe him. 2) How did he ever manage to subscribe, if he can't figure out how to unsubscribe - it's the same process? 3) Why does he have such a problem subscribing or unsubscribing when the average teenager does not? 4) Does he really thing rudeness and profanity will help him? 5) Is Princeton really proud of him? ----------------------------------------------- Sample One --------------------------------------------- From: Jim Kroger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03:06 Subject: This list is rudderless, damn it, damn it, damn it Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Unsubscribe me already! I've sent the right mail to the right place multiple times, sent mail to the guy at the bottom who says send me mail if you have a problem, and now several days later I'M STILL NOT UNSUBSCRIBED TO THIS STINKING LIST !!!!! WHAT A LOSER !!! _________________________________________________________ James K.
