After receiving several subscribe attempts from the bozo who sent the
single-word "subscribe" letter to all of my lists, I replied to our
intellectually-challenged friend with the suggestion that he should:

     In the future, please purchase your clues at a higher
     quality clue store.

Apparently, the una-bozo did not take too kindly to that, because shortly
after I posted my self-improvement suggestion, I received 2000+ copies of
this message:

Wow.  200 characters x 2000 letters.  Gee, *that* hurt.   In the rhelm of
mailbombings, this was the equivalent of a gnat bite.

Not only can this guy not figure out how to subscribe to a LISTSERV list,
he can't even mail bomb correctly!  :)

Now where did I put that Postscript copy of the Manhattan phone book?  :P
