Thanks, Ben WSG Core</quote> Personally, I'd hope someone reamed me a new one for being so ignorant so that I would learn - not all lists or people are as forgiving of the stupidity of others. It is NOT hard at all to do as you said, unsubscribe or simply set up a filter - better yet, DON'T EVEN USE AUTO-REPLY. Just my two cents on the matter :-/ Brian Grimmer theGrafixGuy http://www.thegrafixguy.com 503-887-4943 925-226-4085 (fax) This reply to your initial e-mail is sent in accordance with the US CAN-SPAM Law in effect 01/01/2004.

Hi Ted, This reply is recognition of your post, though the message is for all list members: Yes, "Out of Office" are annoying. This one particularly, as the automated response was sending back to the list. Usually they're set to reply to the original poster. The ever vigilant Core group keep an ever watchful eye for OoO replies, quickly unsubscribing offenders and emailing explanations with directions for signing back up. What can list members do to help? At least two things: 1. Patience. Please do not speed the growing annoyance by venting to the list. The offender will be removed at the first available opportunity. (We try not to let friends, family or fine drinking get in the way of keeping this list in check.) 2. Virtue. If you're going to be out of the office, be it for a holiday, work junket or major surgery, please do not boast to the list. Either set some sort of tricky filter in your email client, or simply unsubscribe from the list for the duration. And before anyone gets too harsh, think how you'd like to be treated when you accidently commit the same sin.
