Heh, you didn't even bother to use an open proxy in Argentina or Korea.
Amateur!
Damn, M$ Outlook is clueless[*]. If I hit "Reply all" to that post, I get a
reply with just one address in the To: header, "Talk Amongst Yourselves". But
if I only hit the single "Reply" button, I get a reply with two addresses in it,
"Talk Amongst Yourselves" and the "Blaaab Babble Boogle Bop" one as well.
So Microsoft must reckon 1 > 2.
Maybe it's going to be part of their new advertising campaign:
Freedom is Slavery.
War is Peace.
Ignorance is strength.

[*] Ok, ok, I know that's stating the obvious: what I mean is "..even _more_
clueless than we already knew it to be..."
