Helllllooooo 200 messages, times how many people on the list 1000 let's say,
that's 200,000 messages of just vacation messages that he hosts. Don't take
advantage of the fact that you only see 200 come through it is a huge stress
on his system.

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.
