This is the kind of harassing B.S. that I get in my mail everyday that makes me want to quit being a listowner. Is there any way to find out who sent this message? Apparently the message was sent to some type of relay, I wonder how many aggravated listowners got this message? Is that all you have to do is send a message to: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], and it will be mailed out to multiple lists? Seems really stupid that it could be that easy to send out harassing mail. >From [log in to unmask] Jul 21 17:59:02 1995 >Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 22:44:55 -0400 >From: "L-Soft list server at UBVM (1.8b)" <[log in to unmask]> >To: "Lt.
