--------> Dave:
      You have a point.  However, I believe what you suggest is a matter
of courtesy *not* an obligation.  I also believe that Fletcher gave his
reason for not sending a "bounced message" advisory, and that his decision
to drop all AOL messages on the floor was a reflection of the quantity of
such messages.

Courtesy to an "offendor" at the expense of an innocent is not always a
good plan.
