Hmm... one mail from an "expert user" and two replies confirming they
ignore the message...
This makes me think it's worthwhile pointing out that such messages should
generally not be replied to. Not only because such matters are not exactly
on topic here, but more importantly, chances are that all who reply to
the "expert user" will have their email addresses added to collections
used by spammers.
