I'm sorry, but I really don't understand why this is such a big issue.
Fine, someone accidentally sent 200 messages, but it happens. It's hard to
understand why hitting delete is such a difficult task. It's nice Michael
that you host all of these CF lists and I really do appreciate it, but I
just don't understand why you seem SO angry.
