WOB - Re: [ltp] UNIX VIRUS - HONOR SYSTEM

[Erik Cummings]

For your future reference a very generalized and well accepted way to do
this without hurting anyone's sensitive feelings about what should and
should not be on a "productive" mailing list...

Prepend the subject of your message with WOB which means Waste of Bandwidth
and a space and a hyphen.

WOB - Funny joke I heard...

This way anyone who is WAY TOO SENSITIVE about this can build a filter in
his email program to delete anything with WOB - in the subject.
