Dave, I've gotten that message too. I believe he subscribes to the newsgroup via email, so it autoreplies anyone who sends him mail - which in this case was you (via the lugnet newsgroup). Perhaps if this is a nuisance someone from the group should (...) (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
