What they don't do, is set filters to exempt this list. And as these are increasing in both numbers, and the language used on the subject line, aren't really that easily filtered by list members who are following good netiquette. > This is just my opinion. > I have belonged to the list since 1999 and it was and still > is that way. '98 for me. However, it wasn't always so problematic. I suspect there's something of the Always September phenomenon, but also some of the list hosting environments, didn't always propagate OOO replies, so it may have been misleading.
