*sigh* For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this thread is still going on. I have clearly explained the issue(s). It is what it is. Period. I cannot even begin to explain why it is not easy to have our mainframe (guffaw) sort through 9000+ files. I'd say it would be easier to explain in person, but that isn't even true. Its almost more of "you'd have to manage this exact service, in this exact state" to understand. However, it may have something to do with dreaming up 9000 unique cases to match and/or the amount of time in a day. In fact why I'm even responding to this while picking up my sister-in-law from CMU is beyond me too. Can we be done with this now? Thank you. ./brm Sent from my iPod On Apr 23, 2009, at 7:06 PM, John Valenti <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Brian, > > (1) don't we have these little electronic gizmos (called > "mainframes", err, "PCs") that are very good at cycling thru 9000 > computer files? > > (2) couldn't they be programmed to look for a blank mailfilter and > not send the message to that person, without impacting our AUP. > Sort of like our spam and virus filters look at every bit of data > flowing thru the system? > > It seems like the message has made much more work for lots of little > groups (dept IT people, help desk, smart users). > -John > > On Apr 23, 2009, at 10:22 AM, Brian Martinez wrote: >> ....
