This I agree with.  

I don't think that I or anybody up the ladder of connection sites should
have been climbed on for Abacus' error. A simple note to me to alert of the 
problem would have been a better first step.  BTW,  I stopped the problem 
as soon as I found out about it.  There were many email's left to go out, 
not any more.
