Hi. You have sent a message to the entire list that seems to be some sort
of automatically generated product of the Smugotron-2000, intended to
annoy a single person but is actually annoying everyone. Your mail user
agent detected something you didn't like, and instead of simply deleting
it, went out of it's way to be annoying.
I do not accept such mail. Yes, I know your mail environment automatically
responded to it, but seriously, why inflict your curmudgeonly attitude on
everyone else? Thankfully, I'm not quite as pedantic as all that, so I
took the time to hand craft this missive, just for you! When I'm done,
I'll think about coding myself an auto-responder that sends you something
else, just like it, whenever you post.
Because that's cool, right?
