J.D.
There is incontrovertible evidence that the recent rash of "Out of
Office" replies is intentional spamming from a server deep within
Northern India. This internet terrorist agenda is attempting to suggest
that almost everyone was missing from work in the U.S. so that Congress
would have no other option than to raise the H1-B visa cap to sustain
the US economy in a time in a virtual "Out of Office" crisis. Condition
Yellow... it is only a ruse.

Hi all,
This is getting silly.
After my earlier reply in the "Mixed digital/RF board with switching
power supplies"-thread, I received no less than 64 out-of-office
autoreplies:
- 9 from cadence.com;
- 8 from mentor.com;
- 3 from each of xilinx.com, emc.com, altera.com and agilent.com;
- 2 from each of ti.com, synopsys.com, samtec.com and motorola.com;
- 1 from each of vitesse.com, unisys.com, solectron.com, silabs.com,
sanmina-sci.com, rambus.com, pmc-sierra.com, nokia.com, mindtree.com,
mei4pcbs.com, mc.com, maxtek.com, lsi.com, infineon.com,
ianmartin.com, hp.com, freescale.com, flextronics.com,
exgate.tek.com, cypress.com, avid.com, avagotech.com, ansoft.com,
alliedtelesis.com, adaptec.com, actel.com and Prenhall.com.

Most out-of-office (or 'vacation') scripts are programmed not to
reply to mailing list articles -- many programmers are subscribed to
several such lists, and they know how much of a pain these messages
are.
Funny thing, out of these 64 autoreplies, 61 had this header:
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5
By comparison, in my 1056-article SI-list backlog, only 341 have been
routed through any version of Microsoft Exchange.
