Dear Tom,

Not really. The culprit is Mike Welli, who is using one of these
loathsome and useless-as-a-chocolate-teapot anti-spam
challenge/response services.

Not at all - it was a lie. Okay, not a lie, but a pathetic piece of
logic in use by the challenge/response service.

TD> A couple of observations about this, if I may....

TD> 1. I never sent an email to Mike Welli or to any other member of
TD> The Bat!'s team

No, but the TB team's mailing list did. And anyone subscribed to that
list gets treated to a copy of the challenge.

DON'T USE THESE SYSTEMS GUYS! They are a darned nuisance!

TD> Things are sure going to be peaceful for The Bat!'s support team.
TD> :-D

Typical of a challenge/response service, two innocent parties are
inconvenienced - you and the TB Support Team. Plus every member of
this list because you felt compelled to raise the topic here where
it's nothing to do with any of us!
