Re: Annoying auto-reply messages

[John C Klensin <john-ietf at jck.com>]

Ole,

In the old days, the Secretariat and, in particular, the IETF 
Exec Dir, monitored the IETF list.  If someone sent a vacation 
message to the list, or back to the Secretariat for 
Secretariat-posted announcements (to either IETF@ or 
ietf-announce@), the assumption was that the individual involved 
lacked sufficient clues to be on an IETF list and the address 
was quietly unsubscribed.

I guess that, as things have gotten more automated and 
larger-scale, we have lost the ability to apply simple solutions.
