Hell, consider this. Here I am on a 3 week business trip,
sitting in one of these anonymous little building associated with
DARPA (well, actually one of the ubiquitous three letter acronym
"sensitive" labs). I have access to an internet connection, but not
to the servers in the facility -- (I may not have clearance, and
certainly the data transmitted would not be allowed there). I get a
dynamic IP for net access.
I see one of these emails that require a role response, and,
rather than making everyone wait for weeks, I respond.
Damned if I think it is my problem if people actively choose to
ignore my message.
