Hello, MLers --

I would have sent this to the owners of the list, but the address is not
in the welcoming info we all received when we signed on.

I don't think I'm a grinch, but I find a 1 MILLION byte seasons greetings
message a bit over the top! I download the Museum-L Digest to forward to
staff who don't have access to email yet. This thing took more than 15
minutes to download at 28.8bps and I still didn't get it all because it
filled my disc. When I opened the file to edit, the document ran to 325
pages!

Due to the fact that the address on the thing was an anonymous
<<[log in to unmask]>>, I am not responding to the sender. If you are
reading this, please, DON'T DO IT AGAIN!

Yes, I'm upset, this is not a good way to wish the list a good holiday. Is
there any way to prevent this kind of misuse in the future?

Thank you for listening to me vent. To all members of this list (yes,
even including <<Infodisc>>), have a wonderful holiday season and a safe,
sane and fun New Year.
