Re: ATTN: Luther Brown - Santa, and Sun (fwd)
bullet bullet bullet bullet

I'm writing to you as admin and technical contacts for Lockheed. Your user (message below) seems to have a problem with the idea that sending mailbombs, no matter how well intentioned, is wrong.

We asked him not to do so in a nice polite note, and he wrote back saying he needed additional confirmation before stopping. We consider this to be a highly aggressive action and would really appreciate it if you would give your user a little lesson in the law and morality. ;0-) We'd hate to have to filter out all Lockheed traffic to our services (which include, among other things, U.S. Patents and other key databases).

Thanks for your assistance,

Carl Malamud
