And as a clueful user she should know that the list reacts badly to
autoresponders, it happens all the time,

It is possible that she is a new user, and was unaware of the annoyance
it causes, just another reason to attempt to get everyone to agree on
rules (guidelines) for posting, most people when they join the list have
absolutly no idea what a pain it is, unless we tell them - politely
thay have no way of knowing (other than reading the rules first).

Genuine mistakes and ignorance of issues is some defence, - but only the
first time.

I would like to remind Gary that the list is provided free, as is, by
Dan and Andy (thanks guys!). Who always do their best to make work for us.

It is what it is, take it or leave it,
