- The Clueless Users Mailing list is now active. Below is a sample of
- the initial mailings. The first message is reproduced intact; the
- latter messages have been edited to disguise the clueless. The final
- response is particularly priceless.
-
- Disclaimer: I am not the maintainer of clueless.

- Subject: Welcome, clueless user!
-
- Welcome to the Clueless Users Network Test System, an intelligence test for
- the ignorant and impolite.
-
- You have been automatically added to this mailing list because you sent a
- subscription request like "UNSUB ME" out to the entire readership of a
- mailing list, instead of sending it to the list server or list maintainer.
-
- There is nobody of worth reading this mailing list. The only way you can
- become unsubscribed is to figure out the standard way of unsubscribing from
- an Internet mailing list. Until that time, you will get these messages
- regularly.
-
- If you made an innocent mistake in sending your "UNSUB ME" out to the entire
- list, then you will know how to unsubscribe from this list immediately and no
- harm will be done.
-
- If, on the other hand, you simply have no clue how to deal with mailing
- lists, you'd better start reading up on the subject before you go blundering
- around again. Your attention is cordially drawn to the newsgroups
- news.announce.newusers, news.newusers.questions, and news.answers.
-
- Hint: the mailing list address is clueless@mantis.co.uk.
-
- Final hint: most mail servers understand the "help" command.
-
- Have fun.

- Who the hell are you?? I never sent anything to your address. I think you
- received mail from the wrong person. If you want to be a nuisance, think twice
- or better yet, in your case, once.

- You know assholes like you think that you can play games with someone's
- personal email, but you picked the wrong person, because I am the last
- person who will give in to shit like you, I can simply stop reading mail
- at this account rather than do one little thing that you tell me to do.
- So keep sending junk here for /dev/null to read. Btw, I am a system admin-
- strator, I know more about mail servers than you ever want to find out,
- but then two can play this game.
