Hi,
over the past 30 minutes, I (and I suspect other legitimate members
of the list toast-l@mitvma.mit.edu) have received over 20 emails of
similar content to the following from a williamw. I believe he is
intentionally sending these emails to be annoying and/or offensive.
(i.e., he has probably written a script to send these out regularly.)
In the past 2 days, this guy has been sending threatening and
offensive emails to this list (see the second forwarded message.)
Please stop him/it. Please also do NOT use my name, as this guy
seems easily offended.
Thanks,
Li Lee

William,
Just out of curiosity... Why are wasting your time writing these
messages? If you have issues you need to discuss, I can recommend
several places you can go to get help. Unfortunately, however, this is
not the right email list for you to discuss your problems which are leaking
through your emails.
Best of luck to you!
Bradley

LELAND THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS:
YOU STILL HAVE NOT ANSWERED MY QUESTION. WOULD YOU LIKE
YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, lwebster@genzyme.com, TO BE PUT ON
EVERY
MAILING LIST UNDER THE SUN, FROM WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO
UNSUBSCRIBE
PERSONALLY?
DO I, FROM NOW ON, HAVE TO WRITE COMPLETELY GRAMMATICALLY
CORRECT SENTENCES IN MY EMAIL SO THAT ASSHOLES LIKE YOU
WILL NOT
COMPLAIN ABOUT IT?
FINALLY, I HAVE TO DIMINISH MYSELF AGAIN AND TELL YOU THAT
YOU SHOULD FUCK YOURSELF.
