And as both an FTN developer and Sysop of a busy Hub system I have suggested
to James to ignore such asinine requests.

"When bots go wild" has never been a prevalent problem, its the sole problem 
of one incompetent Sysop. It is not the responsibility of an author to sit
at the console writing all sorts of code, wasting all sorts of man-hours to
fix the incompetence of one Sysop.

How do I handle it here? I don't. I let the mail flow, use the "Next" key 
to skip crap I don't want to read and let others flame that incompetent Sysop.
