not simply send him/her the responder's answer with the comment
"forwarding to unsubscribed OP"?
I'd point out here that (a) you can't be quite sure the originator is
unsubscribed (your present message is so flagged, but offhand I'd say
you were a regular :-} ), and (b) what's to stop the OP being deluged
with kindly-meant responses all saying the same??
There are certainly some exceptions -- like names we recognize, even
under unsubscribed IDs -- that shouldn't get the canned message. It's
one of the possible problems with automation, there'd have to be some
sort of exception list maintained. As for multiple copies to the OP,
that doesn't seem to happen now; there aren't very many people on that
unofficial "team" and we tend to delay the response enough that we're
not likely to duplicate. If the "team" were more formalized, we could do
something like having these messages go to a separate account that those
on the team would share, similar to the moderators list.
