1) What you are replying to here is not really the sentence you
quoted above, but my speculation about the cause. Ralf may or
may not be onto something.
My theory was that some posting caught particular interest and
was forwarded into the realm of p0wnage. Five years ago I would
have said some mail got forwarded to a MS LookOut user, since they
were considered p0wned by default back in the days. But I digress...
2) My unsubscription is unrelated to whose fault it is, or what the
cause is. It is _strongly_ related to the amount of those bounces,
and how long they keep coming.
I'm stating the obvious here, in case it wasn't obvious to everyone.

"You are part of the problem", right? That's a little bit
offensive, I think.
