[AV Media Matters] Automatic Email Replies to List during yourVacations

[Jim Lindner <jim@vidipax.com>]

Please do NOT use automatic email replies when you go on vacation
telling any sender (like the list) when you are going to return - they
tend to really clog up a list - in some cases with unmoderated lists
they can literally create an endless loop, with members of the list
getting HUNDREDS of emails. In the case of AV Media Matters (a moderated
list) - it tends to clog up MY mailbox, and since at the moment your
trusty moderator is in Asia - the time that it takes to download all of
the automatic replies from all of you lucky people on vacation is
getting to be a bit on the high side.  So please do not use this feature
on your email program - and if you REALLY have to - please unsubscribe
from the list and resubscribe when you return. Unfortunately I will have
to take draconian action for repeat offenders.

thanks
