[chirp_users] basic programming

[Dan Smith]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the noise here. Rick has been removed from the list, but he
generated thousands of messages before that point, which took a while to
get removed from all the various queues. More may be queued on machines
I don't control, but hopefully no more will be generated at this point.
I'm keeping an eye on things and will try to jump on anything else that
happens.

As best I can tell, Rick configured his email client to forward any
message he received from the list back to the list, forming a loop,
which is where the thousands of mails came from. I'm guessing he did
this because he couldn't figure out how to unsubscribe, which seems to
be incredibly pervasive with AOL users (don't ask me why).

Anyway, again, sorry for the noise and hopefully it will be quiet from
here on out.
